PEOPLE have blasted plans to expand a petrol station, fearing overdevelopment.

Eurogarage’s plans to extend the back of their shop and build a replacement bin store in Aldersbrook Road, Wanstead, were approved by Redbridge Council this week.

But before the plans were approved, neighbours voiced concerns that it would not fit in with the area and lead to parking issues.

A report to the planning committee found that the extension would not damage neighbours’ views or block daylight.

The two extra car parking spaces proposed would also not negatively impact petrol station users.
