What objections or support have local residents raised so far?
Local residents have raised a blend of expostulations and support for Waltham Forest Council’s planning operations for the health centre and theatre, primarily through public consultations and the council’s online gate.
Enterprises over increased traffic near the spots, shy parking vittles, and strain on original roads, especially during peak hours for the theatre. Fears of construction noise, event- related disturbances from the theatre, and impact on near domestic amenity.
Some view the scale as too large for the area, potentially inviting green spaces or heritage features. Strong backing for the health centre as essential bettered GP access and the theatre for artistic enrichment and original jobs.
