DESIGN COMPETITION SEEKS INNOVATIVE HOUSING IDEAS
A design competition has been launched by Enfield Council and Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing asking emerging, local, and BAME-led architects, designers, community groups and artists to propose innovative ideas for intergenerational living.
The competition seeks innovative thinking and high-quality designs for individual homes and the housing development.
Intergenerational living is a concept, based on the idea that residents of different generations, such as school age children, young adults, and older residents, live together and share resources, skills and support. Intergenerational housing, both wider housing developments and individual households, can help to build more robust and resilient communities.

NEW WOODLAND
Due to be created on 60 hectares of council-owned farmland in the north of the borough, the woodland will play a role in “carbon offsetting” – tackling emissions that cannot be eliminated. It will capture around 234 tonnes of carbon emissions every year.
The Enfield Chase woodland creation project forms part of the council’s Climate Action Plan, which sets out a range of measures to slash carbon emissions from transport, buildings, and other sources.
