Building Regulations
Enfield Council is discussing water sustainability, urging new reservoirs to meet growing demand in London and the South East.
Enfield Council backed a motion in September 2026 calling for greater water sustainability, urging engagement with water companies to support proposals for new reservoirs. This aims to meet the growing demands of London and the South East, as the borough is in a water-stressed area. A report to the council noted that an additional 1 billion litres of water per day will be needed by 2050.
Building regulations are legal requirements that must be met in the design and construction of buildings to ensure safety, health, and welfare. Councils apply these standards when reviewing planning applications, such as those discussed by Camden Council in August 2026 and Redbridge Council in July 2026 for various developments.
