Proposals for the former Whitewebbs Golf Course

 

On Tuesday 11 February 2025, Enfield Council’s Planning Committee approved our application to create a leading Women and Girls’ Academy, new café and improved public spaces at the former Whitewebbs Golf Course. We are now working with the Council to conclude the necessary legal agreements and the application is being considered by the Greater London Authority (GLA). We will share an update on the next steps for the project in due course and should like to thank all those we spoke to as part of our public consultation.

Our final set of proposals were informed by a comprehensive public consultation undertaken from October 2023 to January 2024. We are grateful for all the feedback that was shared, which resulted in a number of amendments to our approved plans. These were detailed in a community newsletter shared last February, accessible here.

An overview of our proposals for the former Whitewebbs Golf Course:

This site presents a once in a generation opportunity to create a regionally significant asset for Enfield and we very much welcome the opportunity to meet this challenge. Our proposals seek to:

  • Secure this unique site’s future with a green use

Circa 80% of the original Whitewebbs bid site will remain publicly accessible. Half of the former golf course will be restored to historic parkland.

  • Lead the growth of the Women’s and Girls’ game

We have a proud history of supporting the Women’s and Girls’ game and want to continue this right here in Enfield with a new Women’s and Girls’ Academy.

  • Provide new community space

Including a café, information and meeting area and repaired pond. We are also proposing to transform and restore Conduit House, as well as potentially list it as a heritage landmark.

  • Enhance access to nature

Whitewebbs Wood does not form part of our lease area and would continue to be owned and managed by Enfield Council. We would provide funds to help to maintain and repair trails, bridleways and paths, add new signage and create a dedicated Woodland Management Plan.

  • Create new jobs and opportunities

We are proposing to open up new pathways, jobs, and apprenticeships for local residents.

  • Protect and significantly enhance access to nature and biodiversity

c.2,000 trees will be planted on-site, and we shall be providing new habitats for existing and future wildlife, achieving a 33% biodiversity net gain overall.
