In Romford, proposed housing developments at Como Street and Angel Way aim to address urgent housing needs amidst significant overspending by the Havering Council. Plans include a nine-storey tower with 137 flats and flexible commercial space. However, local residents object to these plans, fearing loss of neighborhood character and inadequate consultation. They advocate for smaller homes instead. The lack of parking is also contentious, prompting concerns from local councillors about managing future traffic problems.
Their neighbourhood is under threat of irreversible damage to its character, and they fear this [approach] will set a precedent.
The developers say that more housing is crucial for the borough, after Havering Council overspent its housing budget by 6.1m last year.
