Search the Public Notice PortalDemolition of a former day centre to make way for new homes is set to take place this month.
The St Bernard's Day Centre in Peel Way, Harold Wood, will be demolished after Havering Council-owned developer Mercury Land Holdings was granted planning permission for nine new homes on the site.
The council said demolition was set to begin in early February. The new scheme will include four three-bedroom and four two-bedroom homes, as well as a single one-bed apartment.
Cllr Graham Williamson, Havering Council’s cabinet lead for development and regeneration, said: "Removing outdated buildings at Peel Way is essential to unlocking new opportunities for housing. This is about creating spaces that work for local people and reflect the ambitions of our borough."

Some residents raised concerns during the planning process, citing parking issues, loss of light, and the "overbearing" nature of the proposed development. Others said the scheme was "out of scale and character" with the surrounding area.
The day centre has been vacant since December 2012, with community use ending in April 2015 due to "funding issues and fewer referrals".
Christopher Hobbs, director at Mercury Land Holdings, said: "The programme will run until the summer of 2027 and we are excited to be starting works As with all our projects, neighbouring residents have already been written to."
