In their own words

“The Council seeks to support the primary retail function at ground floor level through Policy LP10 by seeking that a minimum of 70% of ground floor units are used as A1 retail units within Primary Frontages”

“The scheme provides 33.3studio, 33.3% 1 b/2p, 16.6% 2 b/4p and 16.6% 3 bed. Given the site size and constraints and proximity to the Ilford Metropolitan Centre, the mix on balance is considered acceptable”
