A housing association has made a bid to build a block of flats behind a petrol station.

Louis Gavriel of Islington and Shoreditch Housing Association, based in north London has applied for permission to erect the three-storey block of 15 flats behind a Total service station in Larkshall Road, Highams Park.

Three of the flats will be one-bedroom, nine will be two-bedroom and three will be three-bedroom if the plans are given the go-ahead.
