SITE ALLOCATIONS: North Waltham Forest

The North of Waltham Forest encompasses the area extending northwards from the A406 North Circular to Epping Forest. The North Circular runs east to west through the borough, broadly splitting it in half, making the north of Waltham Forest the largest of the borough’s sub areas; stretching up from the Banbury Reservoir and the south side of the North Circular as far as the boundaries with Epping Forest District Council to the North. To the south of the North Circular, the area connects to the most significant area of growth in the borough, moving along the Lea Valley from Blackhorse Lane towards Leyton and Stratford. The west is defined by the River Lee and Lee Valley Regional Park (which is Metropolitan Open Land) with the London Borough of Enfield lying further beyond the William Girling and George V reservoirs. To the east is the London Borough of Redbridge.
