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 replacement family home was acceptable in design, amenity, highways, parking, landscaping, flooding, fire safety and ecology terms.
  • Residents objected to the development’s scale, bulk, character, proximity, loss of light, privacy, trees and residential amenity.
  • The committee unanimously refused the application because its bulk, mass, height and site coverage would be visually obtrusive and out of character.
Read how the committee decided The proposal, site history, officers’ assessment, objections, speakers, committee debate and reasons for refusal.
