planning permission was secured in 2020 for a 13 and 10 storey residential building along Ilford High Road within walking distance of Seven Kings station which is on the Elizabeth Line. The application comprises of 134 residential units and ground floor commercial space. The application required close liaison with the Council in regard to height/massing, residential quality and impacts on a neighbouring development site.

The proposal includes 64 affordable rented dwellings, 86% of which are 2 and 3 bedroom family homes, as well as 80 shared ownership dwellings. All dwellings will benefit from substantial, high-quality communal amenity space situated on the roof of the building, as well as their own dedicated private amenity space. Also featured are new flexible commercial units on the ground floor, providing activity to the street, a sense of vibrancy and creating local job opportunities.

There is an exciting opportunity for positive change along the Crossrail Corridor Growth Area. Recorder House will form a small but important part of the transformation of the High Road, kick-starting the delivery of the Council’s vision, and most importantly deliver much needed new high-quality affordable homes.

• Roof teraces as communal amenity space provision.
• Large back courtyard with 20 parking spaces at ground level.
