Chapel Place

Ilford stands out as an appealing option for newcomers, offering relative affordability compared to other London areas while providing excellent amenities and connectivity.

The addition of Crossrail promises to elevate the appeal of the area, providing residents with fast and frequent transport links to Central London. This enhancement is set to make the development an even more attractive choice for commuters and city dwellers alike.

Redbridge Council has granted unanimous revised planning consent for Telford Homes' Chapel Place development on the 4.82-acre Sainsbury's site in Ilford IG1. The approval comes after adjustments were made to the scheme by a team led by HTA architects, responding to emerging revised fire safety guidance. Notably, five of the proposed seven buildings were redesigned to incorporate a secondary means of escape.

Anne Kavanagh, CEO of Telford Homes, expressed delight at the decision, emphasizing the project's alignment with the Redbridge Local Plan's goal to deliver new homes, jobs, and community infrastructure in the borough. The Chapel Place development aims to provide a mix of quality housing and commercial space, contributing to the area's needs and enhancing public realm aesthetics. Telford Homes is committed to delivering a best-in-class product that aligns with sustainability goals, fostering the creation of vibrant and sustainable communities in Ilford.
