Manak Homes’ proposals for the redevelopment of 817-823 Forest Road were unanimously approved by Waltham Forest Council’s Planning Committee in May 2024.

During the consultation process, Kanda undertook extensive engagement with the local community, helping to facilitate one-to-one meetings with site neighbours alongside public events and a Virtual Exhibition.

Designed by Dowen Farmer Architects, the proposals will transform a former petrol station into 39 new, modern homes, with retail and improved landscaping that will lift the public realm on Forest Road.
