Wanstead Park Road, Ilford

Our brief was to undertake a phase 1 environmental report.

The proposals comprise the demolition two end of terrace properties and construction of a residential development of 37 dwellings

comprising four one bedroom units, twelve two bedroom units, thirteen three bedroom units and eight four plus bedroom units with associated car and cycle parking and landscaping.

The site use at the time of the walk over was partly residential and partly commercial, mainly vehicle repairs and spraying and some areas with abandoned cars.

The report concluded that it was likely some superficial contamination would be found and gave appropriate recommendations .

During the course of the walk over Japanese Knotweed was identified, enabling timely action to be taken to eradicate this invasive species.
