Primary school's bid for new sports area refused after community opposition
Briefly

The planning department of Havering Council denied the application for a new multi-use games area at Gidea Park Primary School due to significant resident objections and concerns about noise and parking.
Local residents raised 48 objections against the new sports proposal, underscoring issues related to noise, insufficient parking, and the potential disturbance outside school hours.
Sport England criticized the proposal for risking the loss of a playing field without an adequate replacement and highlighted concerns regarding the suitability of the proposed artificial grass for certain sports.
The applications were marked by criticisms of the planned floodlights, with residents describing them as 'intrusive' owing to their proximity to neighboring gardens, amplifying concerns around increased disturbances.
