Welcome to our online consultation hub for the former Homebase site on Davidson Way
Barratt London is excited to bring forward proposals to redevelop the former Homebase site and we want to hear what local people think.
Our plans aim to transform this brownfield site into a vibrant community with new homes, green open space and routes.
Using this website, you can learn about our recent consultation events and view the consultation materials displayed at each round of engagement.
Get involved
Last September we held an initial consultation on the early plans and over 220 local people came to meet our team and share their feedback.
More recently we have shared our updated plans before we submit an application London Borough of Havering. We hosted pop-up event at The Brewery Shopping Centre, and were excited to speak to over 200 local people.
We then hosted an online webinar outlining the updated plans, which was recorded and is available below.
Our public consultation runs until 6 March, after which the team will finalise the plans ahead of submission.
Vision for the site
Our proposals seek to bring forward a transformational development for Romford, consisting of new homes in a variety of sizes to create a multi-generational community, alongside green space and sustainability focused design aspects.
What is proposed?
- Around 580 much needed new homes, with a mix of property sizes and on-site affordable housing.
- Homes designed to Passivhaus standards, with greater insulation and glazing to reduce energy use and running costs.
- Opening up the River Rom, alongside a new riverside park.
- Publicly accessible play areas and urban greening with around 120 new trees.
- A town centre, car-free scheme focused on promoting sustainable travel.
- Up to 500 jobs across construction and once completed.
- Safeguarding land for a new Primary school.
