Securing the future of Claverings Industrial Estate

Danescroft are delighted to present a public consultation on proposals for the regeneration of Claverings Industrial Estate, Enfield. Our proposals will rejuvenate the increasingly run-down and vacant 1950s estate, providing highly sustainable best-in-class industrial and logistics space to create new employment opportunities and support Enfield’s economic development within a key employment zone. As part of our commitment to early community engagement, we want to hear your feedback to shape the development of our plans. Find out how you can have your say and get involved in our consultation below.
The Site
Claverings Industrial Estate is located in the heart of Enfield, within none of the borough’s core employment areas around one mile east of Edmonton Green Overground Station. The site is bounded by Montagu Road (B137) and Godwin Road to the west and north, and Pickett’s Lock Lane to the south. To the immediate north and east, the site is adjoined by the Horizon Business Centre and Dominion Business Park.
First built in the 1950s, the estate is around 5.6 acres in area, and is predominantly composed of 2-3 storey buildings. It is run down and increasingly vacant, with poor-quality, inefficient industrial space which is no longer fit for purpose. To refurbish the existing buildings to modern space and energy standards is not viable or plausible.

Policy Background

The estate is identified for development in both the emerging Enfield Local Plan and the Edmonton Leeside Action Plan, with significant potential to bring forward highly sustainable, best-in-class industrial and logistics-led employment space.

Enfield Council is looking to improve the quality of employment and industrial space in the borough. The redevelopment of Claverings Industrial Estate represents a significant opportunity to realise this ambition, optimising an existing estate to generate new local employment opportunities to support Enfield’s continued economic development.

Enfield Council sold the site to Danescroft in 2024. Danescroft are a property developer with over 25 years’ experience in unlocking complex brownfield sites to deliver high quality commercial space, and are looking to regenerate the site to deliver a range of improvements.

Our Proposals
Danescroft is now looking to bring forward the redevelopment of Claverings, liaising closely with the London Borough of Enfield and other key stakeholders, with the aim of providing a wide range of industrial units. The units will be flexibly designed to accommodate a wide range of occupiers. All units will provide associated first floor office space, or mezzanine space with deck access.
Danescroft is committed to creating new employment opportunities, creating attractive workplaces, with the emphasis on the well-being of future workers and sustainability. The scheme will deliver a minimum of BREEAM Excellent and EPC A, as well as delivering a biodiversity net gain.
There is also a desire to improve the security of the site whilst improving the visual appearance on Montagu Road.
