"Construction in Crews Hill, Enfield, might begin before the next election. The area has grown into a small village-size community bordering the M25 on the northern outskirts of London and is 12 miles from Charing Cross. Despite having a railway station, it currently has a very small population of only around 566 people and is in the Green Belt. Currently, it is known for its many garden centres and plant nurseries and underutilised train station, the survey says."
"Work on at total 12 new towns will be taken forward, Reed is to announce, as recommended by a report from the New Towns Taskforce published on Sunday morning. But the priority for construction in the current Parliament will likely be Tempsford in Bedfordshire, Leeds South Bank, and Crews Hill, described by Labour as most promising sites. A new riverside settlement in Thamesmead, Greenwich, is also mooted."
Plans aim to expand Crews Hill in Enfield into a new town capable of at least 10,000 homes, with construction potentially starting before the next election. Crews Hill is a small Green Belt community of about 566 people, known for garden centres, plant nurseries and an underused railway station. Enfield Council's Local Plan identifies the site as uniquely able to accommodate a high proportion of new family housing and supporting infrastructure. A New Towns Taskforce recommends progressing 12 new towns that could deliver roughly 300,000 homes, with at least 40% targeted as affordable. Priority sites include Tempsford, Leeds South Bank, and Crews Hill.
