The site is located on an important east west route in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. This section of the road is lined with low-rise terraced, detached and semi-detached housing. The existing detached Victorian building on site will be replaced with a purpose built 4-storey apartment building to maximise the development potential and improve the quality of the homes. The proposal complements the scale and character of neighbouring properties with a stepped massing, communal garden, roof terrace, disabled parking and forecourt.
