Plans to construct 18 new flats in Seven Kings have been approved.

Redbridge Council gave the green light to the application submitted by Hybrid Planning & Development on behalf of City View Developments Ltd.

The new residential development is to be erected on land east of 612 High Road and north of Seven Kings Methodist Church on Balmoral Gardens, Ilford.

The site was formerly occupied by Balmoral Works.

The flats will be built with private and communal amenity spaces, alongside cycle parking, waste/recycling storage, and associated works, as detailed in the planning application.

All flats will be offered for sale on the market, with no affordable housing included in the proposal.

The site spans approximately 0.09 hectares.

The plot, formerly home to garages and the "Balmoral Works" building, stands as vacant land.

The Mayor has the right to seek pertinent information regarding the spatial planning in the Greater London area.

The entire floor area will be transformed from the existing gross internal floor area of 200 square metres to accommodate the new development, which will have a total residential Gross Internal Floor Area of around 1,121 square metres.

The estimated cost for this proposal is between £2 million and £100 million.

25 square metres of the area will be allocated for a "green roof," contributing to a more environmentally friendly aesthetic and improving the urban greening factor score to 0.40.

Each of the 18 residential units has been planned with both internal and external storage spaces dedicated to dry recycling, food waste, and residual waste.

The development is set to have at least a 70 percent reduction in surface water discharge during a one in 100-year rainfall event, thanks to the sustainable drainage system integrated into the drainage design.

No internet connections will be directly provided by the development.

The approval has been granted following pre-application advice received with the planning application, with notes on overcoming issues regarding residential amenity, impact on heritage asset, and visual impact.

The planning application, submitted under the reference PP-13380689, outlines the complete details of the project.
