On this point, the RWAG asked: How many homes can the town support in such a dense location? There is no thought given to the resources within the town such as policing, transport, healthcare, etc.

Plans to build what could be “the largest estate in London” on a former Romford Ice Rink site were discussed on Wednesday night by Havering councillors.
Developer Impact Capital Group aims to build up to 1,050 homes, more than 300 of which will be affordable.
Havering Council granted Affinity Global permission to build 620 homes on the site in 2018 but construction never went ahead.
Impact Capital Group founder Robert Whitton told the council’s strategic planning committee the company seeks a “net-zero carbon future” and will focus on “high sustainability modular design”.
