Local knowledge of Enfield's Edwardian suburbs, Green Belt villages and 22 conservation areas, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.

Living and Building in Enfield

Enfield was formed in 1965 from Enfield, Edmonton and Southgate, and it is London's northernmost borough, where Edwardian garden suburbs, Art Deco Tube stations and Green Belt villages sit beside the old hunting land of Enfield Chase.

Diagram X brings AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) together for homeowners across a borough with some of north London's most desirable streets.

Planning in Enfield

The borough has 22 conservation areas, and Article 4 directions apply widely, including Hadley Wood, Grange Park, Winchmore Hill, Southgate Green, Forty Hill, Trent Park and Enfield Town, where a 2017 direction covers about 900 homes.

Green Belt land adds a further layer, so permitted development rights should be checked property by property.

Refurbishing in Enfield

Across the borough's Edwardian, Victorian and interwar houses, most interiors have had little meaningful updating in decades, so refurbishment starts from bringing a home's light, layout and performance properly up to modern standards.

A genuinely worthwhile period feature earns its place when retained, but a confidently modern result inside is always the starting assumption.

Construction in Enfield

Large plots, mature trees, clay soils and Green Belt edges shape foundations, access and sequencing, alongside the usual party wall agreements.

We plan for these from the outset, so Enfield's varied suburbs and its individual homes are both well served.
