Barking and Dagenham Council's Cabinet reconfirmed its approval in March 2026 for the disposal of land at Crowlands Heath Golf Course. This decision paves the way for the development of new affordable homes by Homes for Life, a property developer expected to submit a planning application for the site. The council's intention to sell its freehold interest received no objections during a public notice period.
The land in question spans both Barking and Dagenham and the London Borough of Havering, with the council holding approximately one-third of the freehold interest in Barking and Dagenham. The golf club currently holds a 125-year lease on the site, with around 100 years remaining.
