Romford to see thousands of new homes
Development plans for Romford suggest that more than 6,000 homes could be constructed in the area.
A previous proposal had mentioned that 5,300 homes would be built, and the idea is now that a minimum of 5,000 housing units should be completed by 2027. Graphic design can play a significant role in planning, especially when several stakeholders are involved in the process.
The plan goes beyond promoting house building, and includes a new primary school being opened and the local transport system receiving an upgrade. In addition, a health hub is envisaged.
There are other aspects to the strategy. The hope is that the River Rom will be made more accessible, while local public space should get a makeover.
An effort to focus construction on brownfield sites is being made. Waterloo Estate is more than four hectares in extent, so if demolition took place on the estate, this would free up the land for more than 1,000 units.
More than 1,000 residential units could also be built on a real estate area near Waterloo Road, and a site of similar extent is situated next to Waterloo Road roundabout. The aim is for over a third of the housing by the roundabout to be categorised as affordable.
This development goes some way towards Havering Council’s goal of building more than 17,000 homes in the 15-year period from 2016 to 2031.
