Planning committee

Decided by Redbridge Planning Committee on 16 Sept 2026.

Approved by 4 votes to 4

As officers recommended.

  • Residents raised concerns about pollution, safety, noise, privacy, design, parking, traffic and the effect on local businesses.
  • The first vote was tied, a second vote was treated as invalid, and consideration was deferred to the next available meeting.
