A second set of plans to refurbish the entrances of a major Romford shopping centre have been approved with conditions.

The Liberty is set for a £7 million transformation, with four planning applications submitted to Havering Council in June for fresh signs and digital screens at its entrances.

Two of these applications (A0018.24 and P0798.24) previously remained undecided and had their decision date pushed back from August until October 15.

Havering Council has now approved these proposals, which will see new illuminated and non-illuminated signs put up at The Liberty entrances and car park entrances, as well as new doors for four of these areas.

The council outlined several conditions for the proposals including that the illuminated signs should be turned off at night and should not exceed certain levels of brightness in the day, for sustainability and safety reasons.

The conditions also state that the digital screens should not have any visual effects, and "shall be designed so that in the event of breakdown they shall automatically power off to prevent any flashing error message being displayed".

This is so that they comply with highway safety and the Havering Local Plan.

Works will also need to be started on the new entrance doors within three years.

The entrance renovation plans are part of a multi-year £7million improvement budget from Redical. 

Two other applications were approved in August as part of this revamp, for four new illuminated signs, two non-illuminated vinyl signs and two digital screens at the South Street entrance to The Liberty.
