The City of London Corporation has submitted a planning application to seek permission to ‘consolidate and stabilise’ Wanstead Park’s Grade II listed Grotto.

A report on the 18th-century building states: “The landing stage at the base of the main structure is in need of immediate treatment. This area has partially collapsed on one side, whilst on the other side it forms part of the support to the base of the main masonry wall of the remainder of the structure.”

A decision is expected next month.
