Councillors met last week to discuss a draft version of the Local Plan for housing in Redbridge which outlines plans for 18,474 new homes in the London borough over the next 15 years.
The report acknowledges that at least 32,000 new homes are required to meet growing demand by 2030, and yet there is widespread protest against potential plans to develop 800 homes on the Oakfields Playing Fields in Barkingside.
But Cllr Nick Hayes’ proposed amendment recommending that the potential estate be designated as local open space, before it goes before the council, was rejected by the majority of councillors.
