The Housing and Regeneration Scrutiny Panel of Enfield Council was scheduled to discuss updates on key housing projects and policies. Topics included the Reardon Court extra care scheme, the council's approach to damp and mould in social housing, and progress on the Joyce and Snells Estate regeneration.

Reardon Court Update

The panel was scheduled to receive a report providing an overview of the delivery, early operational experiences, and lessons learned from the development of Reardon Court. This council-led extra care housing scheme in Winchmore Hill is designed for residents aged 55 and over, offering 70 self-contained homes with tailored care and support. The report was expected to detail how the scheme addresses the needs of older residents, including accessible design features and communal spaces, and its alignment with council strategies such as the Housing and Growth Strategy 2025–2030. The report was authored by Neil Wightman, Service Director Council Housing, and Aneesh Maini, Head of Development.

Damp and Mould Update

A report was scheduled to update the panel on the council's management of damp and mould in its social housing stock, particularly in light of the introduction of Awaab's Law in October 2025. This legislation aims to address failings in the social housing sector regarding the timely investigation and remedy of hazards like damp and mould. The report, authored by Andrew Cotton, Service Director Council Housing, was expected to outline the legal and regulatory position, the strategic context, policy framework, operational actions, and current performance. It was also to detail the work of the Damp and Mould Taskforce and the council's participation in a GLA-supported Pan-London Internet of Things (IoT) pilot to monitor environmental conditions.

Joyce and Snells Update

The panel was scheduled to receive an update on the Joyce and Snells Estate Regeneration Scheme, a significant project aiming to deliver 2,028 new homes, half of which will be affordable. The scheme also includes plans for a new public park, community centre, affordable workspaces, and a revitalised high street, with the potential to create up to 5,000 jobs. The report, authored by Sarah Lovell, Regeneration Programme Director, was expected to cover progress made since the resident ballot in 2021, including planning and design development, enabling works, contractor procurement, compulsory purchase order (CPO) activity, and resident rehousing. It was also to detail the revised phasing strategy, which brings forward Block B as Phase 2 to accelerate affordable housing delivery.

Work Programme

The panel was scheduled to note that the Housing & Regeneration Scrutiny Panel Work Programme for 2025/26 had been completed.

Dates of Future Meetings

The panel was also scheduled to note that the dates of future meetings would be confirmed following the Annual Council meeting on Wednesday 27 May 2026.
