Application progress
Refused on 15 Oct 2026 · Delegated C/Signed G. Cooper · Last checked 18 Oct 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Redbridge Planning Committee on 14 Oct 2026. Earlier deferred on 16 Sept 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised granting permission, saying the loss of the children’s home was justified and other refusal grounds lacked sufficient support.
- The highways authority objected over the missing parking survey, while members raised policy, traffic and highways concerns.
- The committee voted to refuse the application after a motion was proposed and seconded.
