Plan filed to add 14 homes above a Market Place building in Romford. Studios and one-bedroom spots are projected.
The plan involves a change to a building. They want to add fourteen homes above the current building, which sits at 38-42 Market Place in Romford.
That building held a T.H.S Furniture shop last October. Now, it’s a two-story commercial space with a business occupying the ground floor and the first floor vacant. It is next door to Sports Direct.
The plan adds a two-story addition to the building’s height, providing fourteen new homes.
These homes include studios and one-bedroom spots. The plan sees a small impact on the area, and claims no problems for businesses nearby.
Businesses might even see a sales increase, as the plan considers the new residents helpful. These homes have cycle parking and waste spots, and all rooms get natural light and good privacy.
The building has several doors now, with four at the front and two at the back. The plan keeps all existing doors and adds one extra door at the rear.
One front door becomes the residential entry. The news source could not reach Uplegend or GA&A. A decision on the plan should come by April 7.
