In March 2003, the Lee Valley Regional
Park Authority (LVRPA) commissioned Cazenove Architects in association
with Sarah Couch; Architect and Historic Landscape Consultant, to
prepare the Conservation Management Plan for Myddelton House and
Gardens in Enfield, North London.
Myddelton House and Gardens consist of an early nineteenth century
private house and a later garden landscape associated with the important
horticulturist E.A. Bowles. The site contains various Grade II Listed
Buildings and Structures - including the house, while the gardens
are designated as a Grade II Registered Landscape. The site is located
with the London Green Belt and the Enfield Chase Area of Special
Character as well as partly residing in the Forty Hill Conservation
Area.
The house is used by the Lee Valley Park Authority as its Headquarters
and Cazenove has been commissioned to design a new office building
adjacent to the listed buildings to house teams relocated from other
sites. The conservation management plan has also proposed the refurbishment
of the stable block to form a visitors centre, the relocation of
the existing plant nursery and new circulation patterns relating
to visitors and car parking.
