Up to 10,000 homes are to be built on a brownfield site in north-east London.

Enfield Council has revealed the homes, to be built by Barratt and Segro, will go on land at Lee Valley.

The authority hopes to class 30% as affordable in the Meridian Water scheme and create about 6,000 permanent jobs.

A railway station, shops and other community facilities will be built as part of the development, the council said.
