Policy information sourced from the Harrow Core Strategy

CS 4 South Harrow

Opportunities to enhance the environmental quality of South Harrow district centre will be sought by the co-ordination of public realm investment.

Support will be given to retail and associated town centre and mixed use development in South Harrow centre appropriate to the centre’s function and district catchment.

Proposals within the Northolt Road business use area for mixed-use redevelopment or conversions which make provision for a diversified range of appropriate employment generating uses will be supported

Proposals for appropriate economic development within the business and industrial use areas of South Harrow Arches will be supported.

New development will contribute to biodiversity improvements including Newton Park and Newton Farm Ecology Park, and to enhance community access to these facilities and areas of natural and semi-natural open space.

Opportunities will be sought to open-up culverted sections of the Roxbourne River and Yeading Brook where this achieves sustainable flood risk management, habitat creation and, where appropriate, public access.

The Council will support the ongoing renewal and regeneration of the Rayners Lane Estate.

The redevelopment of identified, previously developed sites to collectively contribute at least 406 homes towards the Borough’s housing allocation, set out in Core Policy CS1 H, will be encouraged.
