I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Nat West. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Redbridge. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a Redbridge based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers where you accept the "fee-free" deal. Call the lender to check if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Redbridge.
