A substantial makeover has been proposed for a semi‑detached house in Romford after plans were submitted to Havering Council for works at 314 Lodge Lane, RM5 2HX.
What is proposed
The application, registered under reference P0844.26, describes a combination of roof works and an extension that together would significantly increase the dwelling’s footprint and change its visual profile. The scheme includes:
- three new roof extensions;
- a two‑storey side extension.
The council’s public listing states the alterations would “substantially increase the property’s size and change its overall appearance”. No further technical drawings or supporting documents are attached to the summary notice, so neighbours and other interested parties will need to consult the council’s planning portal or the Public Notice Portal for full details.
