Plans for a new housing development in Harold Hill comprising 138 homes are expected to gain approval from the council soon. This initiative, led by Havering Council and Wates, aims to transform the site located between Chippenham Road, Kings Lynn Drive, and Dartfields. Despite acknowledging the adverse effects on local properties regarding light and outlook, the report emphasizes that the benefits, including 100% affordable housing and facilities for young care leavers, present a compelling case for the redevelopment. Additionally, plans to relocate the Alderman pub as part of this broader regeneration project are in motion.
The proposed six-storey block will sit only 22 metres away from two-storey properties in Dartfields, significantly reducing light and outlook for the residents.
Despite concerns over impact on local properties, the committee recommends approving the 138-home development, stating that the benefits outweigh the negatives.
The redevelopment will provide 100% affordable housing and offer support for young care leavers, which are notable benefits of the scheme.
The Alderman pub will be demolished but relocated post-development, highlighting the council's commitment to regeneration in Harold Hill.
