Havering Council has approved an amendment to the original proposals for a 120-home development on the site of the former Havering College’s Quarles campus in Tring Gardens.
The homes – which will consist of 78 houses and 42 flats – will now get an extra two rubbish collection points.
There will also be changes to the ground floor layout, and cycle and refuse storage locations.

Helen Oakerbee, Havering Council’s director of planning, concluded that the amendment was “acceptable” and of a “minor nature”, not requiring the resubmission of a new planning application.
Proposals for the Quarles campus development – called Roe Wood Park – were put forward by developer Bellway and the council’s housing company Mercury Land Holdings in July 2021.
The site was vacated by Havering College in 2020 after it closed the former engineering and welding campus and merged with New City College.
A show home at the development is launching on July 12, while Bellway previously said the first new homes would be completed this year.
