Plans that could quadruple the density of housing in Wanstead and Woodford are being discussed at a public meeting tonight.
Organised by Conservative councillors as part of the "Save our Suburbs” campaign, it will take place from 7pm at Woodford Parish Church Memorial Hall, in High Road, South Woodford.
One of the options being considered for the Local Development Framework 2015-2030 by Redbridge council could see large scale developments in traditionally suburban “major corridors” in Woodford Green, South Woodford and Wanstead.
Other options on the table include building on existing, unspecified “parcels” of green belt land, and developing Oakfield playing fields in Fencepiece Road, Ilford.
Labour leader of the Redbridge council, Jas Athwal, has dismissed the campaign as “gesture-politics".
The public consultation on plans ends on December 22.
