RLAM lodges plans for major transformation of Enfield’s Southbury Leisure Park

21 Jan 2026

Royal London Asset Management Property has lodged plans with the Enfield Council for the redevelopment of Southbury Leisure Park, Enfield.

The plans, which are being brought forward in partnership with Neat Developments as development manager, are to redevelop the under-utilised, brownfield site into a high-quality, residential mixed-use neighbourhood that will deliver up to 1,150 new homes, alongside 22,604 sq ft of commercial and community space, including provision for a nursery, and a new linear park.

The project will deliver wide-ranging benefits for Enfield, including new jobs during construction and operation. Once complete, the development is expected to support more than 100 long-term jobs and bring wider economic benefits to the local community.

The proposals align with Enfield Council’s emerging Local Plan vision for Southbury as a Placemaking Area and respond to the Borough’s acute housing supply challenges. Enfield is currently unable to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, underlining the importance of bringing forward deliverable and sustainable housing schemes.

Subject to securing planning approval, works are expected to start in 2028.

Joe Kane, development director at Royal London Asset Management Property, said: “This application represents a significant opportunity to regenerate Southbury Leisure Park and deliver much-needed new homes, public open space and community facilities in a highly accessible location. The proposals will transform an under-used brownfield site into a vibrant, sustainable neighbourhood that benefits both existing and future residents of Enfield.”
