A Hornchurch car dealership is bidding to build a "high quality" new showroom.

Imperials Hornchurch, in Butts Green Road, Emerson Park, is to undergo works if plans are granted by Havering Council.

Plans have been submitted by director Shaun Wright to demolish a building at its 69-71 Butts Green Road site to make way for a car showroom and office space.

A three-storey office with a ground floor car showroom has been proposed to replace the existing structure, said to be a "low-quality" site according to a planning document.

"The proposal seeks to redevelop and optimise a low-quality brownfield site with the delivery of a new high quality modern commercial building," read a supporting statement from agent SPD Studio.

Office space would be on the first and second floors and include associated landscaping and parking.

A decision date has been set for October 13.
