Scheme was called in after council’s rejection of 3,000-home development earlier this year

Approval has been granted for a controversial housing development in Dagenham, east London, months after a local council had sought to block the scheme.

London’s Deputy Mayor for Planning, Regeneration and Skills Jules Pipe gave the 3,000-home development, on the site of an old Ford motor assembly plant, the green light after calling in a decision made by Havering council to block the project back in April.

The Beam Park plans in Dagenham, drawn up by architect Patel Taylor, to build 2,900 homes were deemed not good enough by the local authority, putting it at odds with neighbouring Barking and Dagenham which had already approved the project.
