Planning committee
Decided by Harrow Planning Committee on 23 Sept 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved unanimously
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the scheme would provide housing and restore the damaged locally listed building, subject to conditions and a legal agreement.
- Residents objected over parking, traffic, amenity, design, employment and local services, while consultees raised matters including drainage and landscaping.
- The committee unanimously granted permission subject to the legal agreement and the tabled addendum.
