Havering Council received an application for installing an extractor flue for a potential Indian restaurant at 121 Mawney Road but it has been withdrawn without explanation. Nearby residents expressed strong opposition to the restaurant, citing concerns about parking, hygiene, and the building's unattractive appearance. Mr. Tiwari, the building's owner, declined to comment on the withdrawal but emphasized the need for community input in any future projects. A second application to convert a flat into a small HMO was also withdrawn, reflecting ongoing community tensions regarding property use.
Steve Barker, who lives in Oak Street, spoke to the Recorder last month and said that he was "disgusted" that he had not been sent a letter informing him of the plans. We're worried about the parking and the possible hygiene implications, he had said.
Nat Nollid, who owns the property next door to the proposed restaurant, said last month: I wouldn't mind having a restaurant next door, but he (Mr Tiwari) should have talked to us and asked us what we think.
Mr Tiwari previously said that he did not want to comment on residents' criticism but said: If you do anything, you have to work together with the local community - you can't just do what you want. We have to coordinate with everyone.
