NHS Redbridge

Through extensive engagement with the local plan process, and ongoing discussions with officers at the council, it was demonstrated that the area of land was surplus to the needs of the NHS. It no longer performed its function as part of the greenbelt and a planning application justified its change of use to a housing development. 

To achieve planning permission, evidence was prepared to demonstrate that the land was in a sustainable location for housing which would positively impact the surrounding area. The petition considered elements such as accessibility to public transport and road networks, as well as existing commercial and community centres such as schools and employment sites. The scheme would also accommodate an existing wildlife site into the master plan.
