Plans Approved For Next Phase Of Meridian One Regeneration

Vistry has secured a non-material amendment to Block D at Meridian One, clearing the way for the next phase of the flagship regeneration scheme being delivered in partnership with Enfield Council.

The approval enables Phase 1B of the development, which will deliver more than 700 homes across three buildings. Vistry expects to submit a Gateway 2 application in spring 2026, with construction due to start towards the end of the year.

Meridian One forms part of a major regeneration programme and will ultimately deliver around 1,000 mixed-tenure homes. Phase 1A has recently completed, providing 301 homes, 92 per cent of which are affordable, alongside a Construction Skills Academy and a community garden.

Phase 1B will build on this first phase, delivering approximately 700 additional homes. These will include further affordable housing, with the remaining homes designated for the private rented sector, supporting local housing demand and the long-term vision for the area.

Progress is also continuing at Meridian Two, where a topping-out ceremony took place at the Leeside Road site in December 2025. The milestone marked the completion of the building's frame ahead of the next stage of construction. The scheme, being delivered by Vistry for Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing, will provide 274 affordable homes for Enfield residents by winter 2026 and forms part of wider plans for around 1,000 new homes alongside new public spaces and community facilities.

Together, Meridian One and Meridian Two represent a significant investment in the area, aimed at creating new neighbourhoods and opportunities for local communities.

Rob Wilkinson, Managing Director at Vistry South London, said: "Securing this planning approval is a significant step forward for Meridian One and demonstrates our commitment to delivering high-quality homes and community facilities in partnership with Enfield Council. With Phase 1A now complete and Phase 1B moving into the next stage, we are proud to be playing a key role in creating a vibrant, sustainable neighbourhood that meets the needs of local people."
