Iain Duncan Smith met residents of Trinity Court in Heathcote Grove, Chingford last Friday to listen to their concerns about a planning application to the building.
The application, which the residents oppose, would lead to two new flats being built on top of the building, with balconies over-looking the rear gardens.
Iain and Conservative councillors Caroline Erics and Roy Berg are concerned about the situation and will be raising the issue with Waltham Forest council to make sure residents’ voices are heard.
