A planning application is to be submitted to redevelop a Tesco store and car park in Goodmayes, Ilford, into a mixed use development.

Weston Homes partnered with Tesco and they have been in discussions to redevelop the store on High Road for some time.

The 10.4 acre site is located next to Goodmayes Railway Station and is opposite Barley Lane Park.

The plans include a new Tesco store, a primary school and up to 1,400 new homes.

The partners are seeking to create a new community which will include 35% affordable housing, assisting in meeting Redbridge’s increased housing need.

The proposals will include the provision of a new 3-form primary school, new local employment space through the provision of workshops and cafes, and the creation of an enhanced public realm on the site.

The scheme would consist of a series of contemporary buildings set in 7.9 acres of landscaped grounds, school playground space, residential amenity space and landscaped roofscape, complete with tree lined pedestrian walkways and public open areas. There would be parking at lower ground level for both the Tesco store and residential uses.

The partners have been holding pre-application discussions with the Council about the proposed redevelopment of the site.
