Statutory consultation: Devonshire Road junction with Green Lanes S249, pedestrianisation of the area

Following engagement with residents, businesses, community groups, and other stakeholders, Enfield Council is proposing the pedestrianisation of the highway at the junction of Devonshire Road and Green Lanes (known as Devonshire Square), Palmers Green, to facilitate the creation of an outdoor community space. This follows on from the decision taken in February 2024 to make the previous Experimental Traffic Order TG52/1503 permanent which excluded vehicular access from the junction. The pedestrianisation of the junction builds further on proposals to facilitate the creation of an outdoor community space.

We invite residents and anyone interested to provide an objection or representation on the draft Traffic Order through the statutory consultation. This consultation is separate to the engagement on the permanent designs that are being developed in parallel, and together with this statutory consultation will inform the final permanent designs for the space. This project is being delivered by Enfield Council’s Journeys and Places team as part of the Council’s commitment to creating and improving public spaces where everyone can thrive.

Objections or representations can be made in any of the following ways:

Online via the survey at https://letstalk.enfield.gov.uk/palmersgreen,
emailed to traffic@enfield.gov.uk or journeysandplaces@enfield.gov.uk,
posted to: Journeys and Places, Enfield Council, Silver Street, Enfield, EN1 3XA, or
posted to: Head of Traffic and Transportation, Civic Centre, Silver Enfield, Middlesex, EN1 3XD.

Copies of the draft Order and relevant plan may be inspected at all reasonable hours (Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm inclusive) during 28 days commencing on the 12th June 2024, at the Town Library, 66 Church Street, Enfield EN2 6AX. Digital copies may also be obtained (free of charge) by emailing traffic@enfield.gov.uk quoting the reference TMO1503/S249.

Following the statutory consultation, a formal report will be produced that summarises the feedback received. Enfield Council will provide a response and use the comments received to make a decision on whether or not to implement the proposed changes.
