Prime Residential Development in Romford with Full Planning Permission

This sizeable residential redevelopment in the heart of Romford offers a unique opportunity to obtain a centrally located plot with full planning permission for a mixed-tenure complex. Situated along London Road, a short 0.7 miles from both Romford Station and the town center, the land covers 1.02 acres and is currently used as a surface parking lot.

The scheme has been approved to deliver 88 apartments, arranged across partially 4, 5, and 6 stories, intended to suit various housing requirements in an expanding local marketplace.

The development incorporates 63 private units and 25 affordable flats, with shared ownership and affordable rent choices. The unit mix involves one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom floorplans. Each flat is intended with access to landscaped communal areas, 160 safe bicycle storage spaces, and 56 on-site automobile parking spots — nine of which are accessible.

Additionally, two off-site car club spaces are secured under S106 obligations. This residential undertaking is backed by a freehold title with the capability to achieve vacant possession within a one-month notice period.

Transport, Amenities, and Local Market Growth

Romford Station provides excellent transportation connections, with Elizabeth Line services offering speedy journeys to Stratford in 19 minutes and Liverpool Street in 27 minutes. The nearby A12 provides convenient access to the M25, M11, and A406. Regular bus routes serve the area, ensuring high connectivity across east London.

The area also benefits from established infrastructure, with educational institutions like Crowlands Primary School and St. Edward’s C of E Academy nearby, and medical facilities such as Queen’s Hospital within easy reach.
