Enforcement notice among refusal reasons for flats above Rainham shops plan
Briefly

Plans to construct new homes above shops at 1-5 Writtle Walk in Rainham were recently rejected by Havering Council. The council cited an outstanding enforcement notice that addresses prior uses of the building's upper floors. Specifically, the notice concerns the cessation of residential use and the removal of cooking equipment, which must be complied with before further developments can be considered. The committee also raised issues about the potential for the proposed development to be visually intrusive and overbearing, alongside concerns related to privacy for neighboring properties.
