24th February 2015
The Woodcroft Wildspace planning application, and that for the Wrenn
housing, were both passed unanimously at this evening's Planning Committee.
We now have a legal Apiary building and Eco-Gym – and in due course, some
neighbours.
Some 2 years ago Woodcroft directors worked closely with Enfield Council
to put together a Planning Application to change the use of the land from
sports ground to wildspace. That Planning Application was finally submitted
to the Planning dept in mid December 2014 and neighbours around the site
notified by LBE with a published closing date of 1st January 2015. Further
opportunity for public comment on the plans, for which the links to the
application are shown below, was available until 5th February.
Naturally we wished to see the plans approved for the retained land, as
it is referred, to retain the land as wildspace managed by Woodcroft
Wildspace as an Educational wildspace for the benefit of the whole of
Enfield. As you know, we have been very successful in doing so to date with
many schools visits planned in 2015 to benefit from this Gold Award winning
facility.
The planning documents previously displayed in public consultation on 4th
December 2012 are still available
here
Should you have any comments about the proposals that you wish to express
directly to Woodcroft Wildspace please e-mail us on
enquiries@woodcroft.org.uk
Thank-you, we look forward to your support in retaining this refreshing
green space for everyone's benefit.
Planning Applications - as submitted December 2014 :-
The planning applications will either be going to the Planning Committee
on Tuesday 24 th February or Thursday 12 th March (venue Conference Room,
Civic Centre, Enfield). Comments can still be taken into account, but the
deadline will close quite soon if the Committee date is 24 th February.
Local residents around the Woodcroft site will be aware of the submission
of planning applications for a residential development of five detached
houses on the southern part of the site (by Wrenn Homes), with a separate
but linked application on the rest of the site for nature conservation and
related proposals, including provision of a small car park. The application
for the ‘retained land' is submitted jointly by LB Enfield Parks Department
and Woodcroft Wildspace.
The applications are due to be considered at the Council's Planning
Committee on either the 24th February or 12th March.
For anyone still wishing to comment on either application (support or
objection), the advice is for the individual to e-mail the relevant case
officer direct and request advice on the date when the opportunity to
comment will be closed.
