Town centre flats and a 15-person house in multiple occupation (HMO) are among the properties in Havering which faced enforcement action last month.

Havering Council dished out two planning enforcement notices and three breach of condition notices in May, mostly to homeowners and residential properties.

Three more notices were issued last month than in April, and the most since January.

Below is a rundown of all three of these notices, and what action they ordered the recipients to take.

Equitable House, Romford

Flats above the parade of shops at 88–100 South Street were served a breach of condition notice by Havering Council on May 5 after failing to provide approved refuse and recycling facilities.

The recipients were given 28 days to submit a valid application and install the facilities, with no right of appeal.

17 Archway, Romford

A Romford homeowner at 17 Archway was told to alter a side extension on May 14 after it was built in breach of approved plans, including unauthorised doors and windows.

They must remove the non-compliant features and restore it to approved designs within 28 days.

Fitzilian Avenue, Romford

A 15-person HMO in Fitzilian Avenue, Harold Wood has been ordered to stop operating after Havering Council said it was "running without permission" and provided a "poor quality living environment".

The owner must cease use within a month and remove HMO-related fittings within three months.

Southern Way, Romford

Havering Council ordered the owners and occupiers of a property in Southern Way to demolish a new ground and part first-floor extension after breaching planning conditions.

They must remove the structure and all materials by August 29 or could face an unlimited fine.

56 Brookside, Hornchurch

A Hornchurch homeowner at 56 Brookside has been ordered to demolish a front boundary wall, railings and gates built "without planning permission".

The council said planning permission would not be granted due to the boundary treatment's "excessive height and scale", giving the owner until August 29 to bulldoze it, or until June 29 to submit an appeal.
