In brief
Councillor Michael Rye OBE explained that changes to planning decisions were necessary to comply with national planning delegation regulations. He noted that the final word on planning applications would sit with the Officer, not the elected Member. The councillor also confirmed that Enfield and North London are served by three large reservoirs, and that a subterranean reservoir in Enfield holds tens of millions of litres of treated water. The Whitehorse reservoir will store fresh water for 15 million people across London and the south-east region.
