The factors which led to the enclosures in England are:

(a) Enclosures were necessary to make long-term investments on land and plan crop rotations to improve the soil.

(b) Enclosures allowed the rich landowner to expand the land under their control and produce more for the market.

(c) Enclosures filled the pockets of landlords. After enclosures, everything belonged to the landlords, everything had a price which the poor could not afford to pay.
