84 homes are under threat of demolition on Havering's Oldchurch Gardens estate in Romford.

The estate has been earmarked for redevelopment as part of Havering's £1bn joint venture with developer Wates Residential which will see 12 of the borough's estates redeveloped.

The scheme has not yet applied for funding from the Mayor or been exempted from his requirement to ballot residents on the demolition of their homes. It is unclear whether Havering intends to ballot residents at this stage.

Havering's website says that planning permission will be submitted in summer 2025 for 306 homes.
