Havering Council has proposed to register Platford Green and Tyle Green in Hornchurch as village greens, aiming to preserve these areas from development. This initiative underscores the significance of green spaces for community well-being and recreational use. A report presented to the council highlights the challenges of urban development conflicting with the need for green spaces. The proposal follows previous recommendations for five sites throughout the borough, with the registration process expected to finalize by April 2024, ensuring local residents can freely utilize these precious green areas for various activities.
Havering Council plans to apply for village green registration of Platford Green and Tyle Green, protecting these sites from development and ensuring public use.
The report emphasizes the importance of high-quality green spaces for physical and mental wellbeing as well as social interaction among residents.
There is an ongoing challenge of balancing housing development against the need for green spaces, with tensions between expanding housing availability and preserving amenity space.
