The Harrison Gibson building in 2018 Redbridge Council hopes to tackle the perception that the borough is being “overdeveloped”, insisting this cannot be true if it is not building enough new homes. In January, Redbridge failed the Government’s Housing Delivery Test, after building less than two thirds of the new homes target set for it by the Greater London Authority. A consequence of failing is that new housing applications will have “presumption in favour of sustainable development”, making it harder for the council to reject them. In an effort to “regain control”, the council will now review its Local Plan, only three years after it was last redone, and wants to tackle residents’ perception of the borough as overdeveloped.
Cllr Farah Hussain (Lab, Valentines) called the scheme “visionary” but added she wished it had happened earlier.
She said: “My frustration with these things is how long they take, we have been hearing for years and years that something big will happen and it always seems to take far too long.”
She said she also worried about areas just outside the scheme, adding: “I’m concerned they are not going to have the same thought being put into them.”
Cllr Hatfull said he was pleased the council was “taking the lead” and prepared to use compulsory purchase powers to avoid a “piecemeal” development that “may not deliver”.
