Planning committee

Decided by Harrow Planning Committee on 28 May 2026.

Refused unanimously

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because the homes would contribute to housing need and were acceptable in design, amenity, highways, parking and flood-risk terms.
  • The consultation included one suggestion for community use and objections about height, design, access, parking, light and ventilation.
  • The committee unanimously refused the application because it considered the site overdeveloped for six units, harming local and future residents’ amenities.
Read how the committee decided The proposal, site and history, officers’ assessment, consultation responses, committee debate, vote and reasons for refusal.
