Residents of Hadley Wood took part in a referendum in November 2023 and overwhelmingly approved a Neighbourhood Plan for the area. The Council subsequently approved it on 22nd November [source: Enfield Dispatch]
The Plan’s first aspiration is protect the Green Belt and Local Green Spaces, both within the boundary of Hadley Wood and in the immediate surrounding area and, later, Aspiration HW(iii): The Green Belt (page 48) says This Neighbourhood Plan proposes that Green Belt boundaries and designations within and surrounding Hadley Wood remain unchanged.The Plan strongly opposes inappropriate development within the local Green Belt. So the inclusion in the Local Plan of Green Belt for 160 houses within the Neighbourhood Plan’s boundary [Site Allocation SA RUR.02] appears to ignore the residents of Hadley Wood.
