## Resource

Enfield Council just approved a bold plan to build 306 affordable homes right next to North Middlesex University Hospital — a unanimous vote that’s sparking debate. Tearing down old NHS buildings, including a historic admin block, will make way for a 16-story tower, a nursery, café, and new NHS offices — all while ditching cars for 570 bike spots. Officials admit losing the heritage building is painful, but the housing crunch and regeneration outweighed preservation concerns. Developers warned partial demolition would cripple funding, risking grant losses. To honor the past, they’re requiring oral histories and archival work before the wrecking ball swings — a tough but necessary trade-off for urgent housing needs.
