The New Harrow Local Plan 2021-2041



The consultation on the new Local Plan - Proposed Submission (Regulation 19) version, which commenced on Monday 4th November 2024, has now closed. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the consultation. The responses received are now being considered. A further update on next steps will be available in early 2025.

The London Borough of Harrow is producing a new Local Plan which will guide development in the borough between 2021-2041. The Council is consulted on the new Local Plan - Proposed Submission (Regulation 19) version for six weeks between12:00pm (midday) on Monday 4th November 2024 and 11:59am on Tuesday 17th December 2024.


The London Borough of Harrow is producing a new Local Plan which will guide development in the borough between 2021-2041. We want to hear from people who live, work and have an interest in the borough. The Local Plan is crucial to shaping the council’s approach to housing needs, the local economy, sustainability, health, inequality, and protecting the suburban character of our Borough. We encourage everyone to have their say on the issues that matter most.


You may recall that we undertook a consultation on the new Local Plan earlier this year. Since the previous consultation, Officers have been working to incorporate the revisions requested by the local community where appropriate into the Local Plan, addressing a range of topics. Following a meeting of Full Council on 23 October 2024, it was agreed to undertake a further consultation on the new Local Plan - Proposed Submission (Regulation 19) version.


This page has been set up to provide stakeholders with information on the new Harrow Local Plan including timelines, frequently asked questions, useful documents and relevant links, including how to make a representation. All consultation on the local plan will be run through this page, so please follow this project for updates.


What is a Local Plan?

Local Plans are documents that set out a vision and a framework for the future development of an area, addressing needs and opportunities in relation to housing, the economy, community facilities, infrastructure, the environment, climate change adaptation, and good design.


Why is the Harrow Local Plan important?

The policies within the Local Plan are used to guide development and decide planning applications. They also assist in the delivery of many Council services and priorities, such as the securing of affordable housing, achieving high quality development in the borough, managing the location, quantity, and quality of development, and promoting the vibrancy and vitality of our town centres.

All of these aspects help to fulfil the Council’s priorities of putting residents first, and creating a borough that residents can be proud of.

The policies are set within the Local Plan for at least the next 5 years, so it is important to have your say on them, and help the council get it right.


Why does Harrow need a new Local Plan?

The current Local Plan was adopted in 2012 and 2013 and can be found here.

Much has changed nationally, regionally, and locally since the current Local Plan was adopted. Consequently, under national and regional policies, many aspects of it are considered out-of-date and therefore a new Local Plan is required.

The new Local Plan will cover a 20-year period from 2021 to 2041.


What is the process for preparing the New Harrow Local Plan?

There are several stages to the Local Plan process, you can find detailed information on this in the Local Development Scheme (LDS) which was adopted by the Council on Thursday 16 February, and can be accessed in the Documents section of this page.

The preparation of the Local Plan includes an assessment of how policies could influence sustainability (including environmental, social and economic outcomes) health and equalities. The purpose of the IIA is to highlight and, where possible, address any undesirable effects that may arise regarding sustainability (such as the environment, society and economy), health or equalities as well as identify opportunities for improvements. All Local Plan policies, including alternative policy options have been appraised in the IIA. A Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) is also necessary to assess whether protected habitats and species may be adversely impacted by the plan’s implementation. A HRA screening assessment has been included within appendix G of the IIA (and summarised in section 11) , to assess any potential impacts of the Local Plan on any species or habitats. The findings of this are reflected in the IIA report.

The IIA documents can be downloaded in the Evidence Base folder to the right of this page.



What happens next?

While this consultation represents a significant and positive step forward for the Local Plan, there are still further stages ahead. This includes a full independent examination by the Planning Inspectorate (appointed by the Secretary of State).

We will provide further updates on the progress of the new Local Plan, so please check back soon.

  • Share The plan is woefully unambitious in increasing housing supply. The plan is essentially to jam as many people as possible into a small area (Wealdstone) while not really touching 95% of the borough (places like Pinner); essentially segregation by income. There is a reason why high streets (like in Pinner) have a third of shops shut for years, we do not have enough people to support all the services businesses. The council is more concerned with NIMBYs than helping with affordable housing; no social housing is not the answer, just increase supply and the market will sort it out. It is a more detrimental to the character of the area to have these shuttered shops than more houses. Car parking is NOT the answer to regenerations, it just creates jam and pollution, and just moves the problems around. We need gentle rise in housing density all over the borough to regenerate all parts of Harrow, any building up to 6 floors automatically allowed.

    Dear pk.lhr. 

    Thank you for the comment,  

    The Harrow and Wealdstone Opportunity Area has been identified through the London Plan as a well serviced area with excellent access to transport, amenities and employment. This area has significant potential for regeneration through development which will allow for the reinforcement of infrastructure and the revitalisation of the public realm. More than half of all homes will be built in other areas across the borough throughout the plan period with draft policies seeking such development to be at appropriate heights and densities. The draft Local Plan seeks to ensure the housing required to be delivered as set out in the London Plan, and car parking requirements will be achieved.

    Mr VB asked 22 days ago

    Dear Mr VB,  

    Thank you for your question. 

    The Council has a statutory duty to grant a sufficient level of permissions to sites for self-build and custom housing, if applications are submitted by landowners/developers, to address local demand (.i.e. number of entries on part of 1 of the register) over a three-year period.  In line with national policy, Draft Harrow Local Plan Policy HO11 sets out a positive approach to increase the delivery of additional self-build and custom build housing (including via community led schemes) units; to address local housing needs during the Plan period.

    Kind Regards,

There's lots of empty retails/shops in Wealdstone, so I cannot see any reports how to improve retail businesses in Wealdstone- Look at Hatch End and Eastcote - great rows of cafes and restaurants which we can eat outside during the day time and evening, car parks next to shops high street- why didnt we see this example in Wealdstone. I cannot see the report about the proposal new retail/cafe/library on Peel Car Park site and high street in Wealdstone? What will happen to Peel Car Park?

    Dear JPC,  

    Thank you for the question.  

    Empty premises across the borough are a concern for the Council. Within the remit of the draft New Local Plan, policies seek to ensure that there is sufficient employment floorspace (including retail) within town centres to provide for the population growth across the plan period (the level of proposed floor space is based on current evidence base work). Policies seek to provide flexibility of uses within town centres, but seeks to ensure that it would be an appropriate town centre use and would contribute the vibrancy and vitality of a town centre. The Council will work across internal departments (such as Economic Development) to improve the vitality and vibrancy of all town centres within Harrow. Unfortunately, there are factors outside of the remit of planning and the local plan that also influence vacancy rate of any employment floorspace.  

    The Peel Road site is proposed as a site allocation (Site OA12) which is set out within the New Draft Local Plan, including the allocated uses for any development of the site. This is subject to the current consultation. 

    Kind Regards,

    Dear Ravji Patel, 

    Thank you for the question.  

    The draft New Local Plan sets parking standards for new development in conformity with the London Plan (2021) standards. Draft policies seek to ensure that wider driveways and front garden developments provide an appropriate quantum of soft landscaping which makes a significant contribution to Biodiversity Net Gain, flood risk matters and also to the character of an area. 

    Please note that there are a number of consultations being undertaken by Harrow Highways Authority in relation to parking matters that are located on the Harrow Council Website.  

    Kind Regards,

    Planning Policy Team
