Search the Public Notice PortalA proposed new development in Romford is set to move a step closer as the land goes under the hammer next month.
Coral Car Park, the former overspill parking area for Romford Greyhound Stadium, has been put up for auction at a guide price of £5.25 million.
The move marks a step forward for the site at the corner of London Road and Spring Gardens, which has remained empty since planning permission for its redevelopment was granted in May 2021.
The consent allows the construction of 88 new flats on the land, consisting of 37 one-bedroom, 34 two-bedroom, 15 three-bedroom and two four-bedroom apartments.
The development, which will also include communal amenity areas and parking spaces, is set to reach between four and six storeys high.
According to the Rightmove listing for the auction, the former car park has now been cleared and the site secured, but construction on the building itself has not yet started.
Aerial photos show the tarmac removed from the site and a trench dug.
A certificate of lawfulness was submitted last year to confirm that works had begun before planning permission lapsed in May 2024.
However, Havering Council deemed fresh permission was not needed as the "digging of an appropriate trench and piling for part of the foundations" showed that works had been "lawfully commenced".
At the time the redevelopment proposal was first lodged in 2019, the Romford Dogs stadium was undergoing a £10 million refurbishment, and therefore no longer needed the overflow car park.
The site will be part of an online auction hosted BidX1 on August 20.
