There is always plenty of news around building and development in Havering.
The Recorder works to keep readers informed of new homes and developments that are - or could be - coming to the borough.

No Decision
Somewhat unusually, no decision was made on an application which came before the council's strategic planning committee on August 12.
A proposal to take away parking spaces previously promised to residents of the Verve Apartments in Mercury Gardens, Romford, was initially refused.
The refusal was principally centred around already insufficient on-site car parking provision, despite that the London Plan says certain schemes should be car-free.
In light of this, Havering's assistant director of planning Helen Oakerbee said an appeal would likely succeed.
Therefore, no decision was taken with additional information to be sent to the committee for consideration.
What's coming?
Proposals to demolish the Abercrombie House hostel in Harold Hill - still in the pre-application stage - were recently brought to the strategic planning committee.
This was intended as councillors' opportunity to comment before a full planning application is submitted.
The proposed redevelopment of the Hilldene Avenue facility is part of wider plans to revamp the area.
