A planning application for a pole dancing room and “gentleman’s club” in Wanstead was submitted by accident, the applicant said.
Stephen P Bord & Associates submitted proposals to demolish a house in Grove Park Wanstead and replace it with a four-bedroom dwelling with an adult-themed ground floor and additional car parking spaces for guests.
Eight objections were made about the plans with the Wanstead Society raising concerns about the type of hobbies that would be carried out in the building.
