A planning application for an Asian takeaway at 121 Mawney Road has sparked renewed concerns among local residents, who previously campaigned against a similar proposal. Key issues raised include inadequate parking for customers and staff, potential noise disturbances, and the overall impact on the neighborhood. Residents like Anna Agus and the Beard family highlighted the practicality of parking and the risk of littering and noise from the restaurant. Councillor Tim Ryan expressed his support for residents' concerns while acknowledging the development's overwhelming nature and its mismatch with the area's character. A decision from Havering Council is expected by May 20.
A planning application was submitted by Avinash Tiwari earlier this month only weeks after similar initial plans were withdrawn. According to an odour impact assessment document, the property at 121 Mawney Road "wishes to operate as an Asian takeaway (Indian food etc)". Residents of Mawney Road and Oak Street have again rallied together, starting a petition and expressing their worries as they did when the initial plans were submitted.
Anna Agus lives in Oak Street and said her primary issue is with the lack of parking space for potential customers. She said: "I don't want to stop anyone from doing any business because business would be good round here. Where would people park though? This is a main road it's not just restaurant guests but staff as well."
Gillian and Richard Beard from Oak Street expressed their concerns about noise and rubbish from the potential takeaway: "We could have all their rubbish and noise, door slamming, anti-social behaviour. When we had wind the other day, all the rubbish was flying out the skip and I had some land in my front garden."
Councillor Tim Ryan highlighted the development's impact: "I could not overly praise nor criticise a development but confirmed he 'fully supports' his residents. He added: 'The actual development is overbearing for that area and it is out of character - it is too bulky.'
