Where: 5-7 York Road, Ilford, IG1 3AD
When: Application registered - May 12 / Target date for decision - July 6
Reference: 1480/22
Further information: There are four two-bedroom flats in the existing building, while the six proposed additions are made up of two two-bedroom units and four with one bedroom each.

Submitted
What: This application aims to demolish the existing structure to erect a new three-storey building with five self contained flats.
Where: 12 Marlborough Road, South Woodford, E18 1AP
When: Application registered - May 12 / Target date for decision - July 6
Reference: 1354/22
Further information: Two previous applications - refs 1425/21 and 4358/21 - were refused for reasons the applicant states have been addressed in the latest proposal.
The five-flat offering in this application is made up of three one-bedroom units and two with two bedrooms each.
Decided
What: This application sought to make external alterations to the southern half of the existing care home to form 22 studio flats for rough sleepers.
Where: Ryedale Court, Victoria Road/Roman Road, IG11 8PE
When: Application approved with conditions - May 16
Reference: 0061/22
Further information: A separate application to add 18 flats was approved in March last year (ref 3985/20).
In terms of the 22-unit proposal, shared facilities such as a communal kitchen and laundry room are included in the plans.
The application site was a residential care home until 2017; since then, the northern part of the building has been used as accommodation for rough sleepers.
During the pandemic both sides were used for this purpose.
Decided
What: This application sought to prove that this property was in lawful use as a House of Multiple Occupation (HMO) before a rule change prohibited such use.
Where: 25 Essex Road, South Woodford, E18 1JS
When: Application decided - May 19
Reference: 0802/22
Further information: As of December 2019, a change to building regulations removed the right for a dwelling of this nature to be converted into a HMO.
Therefore, the applicant had to prove - on the balance of probabilities - that this property was in use as a HMO before the above deadline.
According to the council, "sufficient evidence" was submitted to demonstrate this.
