Conservationists claim that plans to build new homes in Harold Hill are going to ruin the habitat of deer who roam the area.
Despite receiving 185 objections - and only one comment in support - an application to build five houses on the land adjacent to Priory Road was granted at the council's planning committee meeting on February 11.
But members of the Harold Hill Deer Aid group - already worried by pre-existing welfare issues - have voiced their concerns about the future of these much-loved local animals.
