Elm Park Residents’ Nightmare As House Used As AirBNB Causes Endless Anti Social Behaviour.

Residents living on Dilban Avenue have been plagued by horrendous anti social behaviour that has made their lives a nightmare. The property is set towards the end of the Elm Park Road, surrounded by residential properties that have had to deal with loud music, parties till the early hours of the morning, rubbish strewn all over the road, men hanging around outside their properties and endless vehicles parking across their drives.

Lauren, one of the many neighbours impacted by this property has suffered months of anti social behaviour that has impacted her life, her work and ultimately her well being. She told the Havering Daily: “We have had parties non stop at weekends that go on until 3 or 4 am. Men hanging around outside our house, rubbish left all across our street. People coming and going all hours of the day, and vehicles parking where ever they want.”

Elm Park Ward Councillors Barry Mugglestone, Stephanie Nunn and Julie Wilkes told the Havering Daily:

“We fully support residents who are objecting to the planning application for 114 Diban Avenue.  A four bedroom house in a residential street is for a family to live in, it should not be converted to a seven bedroom Airbnb as a business for someone to make money at the expense of the families who currently live in Diban Avenue.   This inappropriate conversion goes against the Havering Local Plan with quality houses for families.”

The use of this property as an AirBNB has really been a complete nightmare for neighbours. Lauren added: “After parties that finish around 4am, guest go out the front and sit on our front wall. Rubbish is then piled up everywhere outside that blows all across the road and our drive ways.

“We have large groups of people staying at the property, making endless noise running up and down the stairs all night long. Their vehicles block up our driveways, with many people unable to get to work because they can’t get their cars out of their drives.

“It really is a nightmare and the owner of the property has done very little to resolve this.”

Planning that allows this property to operate as an AirBNB will be reviewed now by Havering Council planning officials.
