Redbridge councillors have approved a plan to fill in a gap on Wanstead High Street with new flats above the Wanstead Barber Shop and the former health food shop.
The development will mean three one-bedroom flats but will combine the two shops into one property. It’s not clear yet what the implications will be for the barber.
The developers say the design would “match the style of the existing adjacent Victorian three storey terrace premises (1b and 3 High Street) with a tiled pitched roof, facing brickwork elevations and sliding sash style windows with stone heads and cills to openings”.
the adjacent building with the stone lintels isn’t Victorian!!!!! it was was built about 20 years ago. the terrace to the right with the brick arches is victorian…
I’ve often wondered why this hadn’t been don before.
Done!
Didn’t the building on the right (above The Wagon) used to be a ‘VIP Massage Parlour’?
It did indeed!
I must say though, that the chaps I used to see going in there for their ‘physio’ treatments never did look much like VIPs.
