AAP 22: Supporting Site Assembly within the Heart of Harrow
The Council will use compulsory purchase powers to assemble land for development within the Heart of Harrow where:
- Landowners and developers can demonstrate that they have:
- a viable, deliverable and Area Action Plan compliant scheme; and
- made all reasonable attempts to acquire, or secure an option over, the land/ building(s) needed, through negotiation.
- Comprehensive redevelopment of the assembled site is in the public interest; and
- The development proposed for the assembled site would contribute to the delivery of the Heart of Harrow’s objectives.
Where compulsory purchase is necessary, applicants will be required to demonstrate how the associated costs impact upon development viability.
