CS 8 Edgware and Burnt Oak

The Council will support the growth being promoted for Edgware major centre. Mixed-use redevelopment in the part of Edgware centre within the London Borough of Harrow will be encouraged where this does not conflict with heritage assets, is consistent with the role and function of the centre and improves pedestrian connectivity to Edgware Underground and bus station.

The Council will work with the London Boroughs of Brent and Barnet, and the Greater London Authority as appropriate, to improve the vitality and public realm of Burnt Oak district centre in support of the significant growth proposed for the nearby Burnt Oak and Colindale Opportunity Area.

Opportunities to enhance the environmental quality of Edgware major centre and Burnt Oak district centre will be sought and priority given to the co-ordination of public realm investment.

Highway improvements in relation to Edgware Road that improve the capacity, reliability and general operating conditions for public transport, and reduce its impact as a barrier to pedestrians, will be prioritised.

The Honeypot Lane Industrial Business Park will be retained for appropriate B1, B2 and B8 uses. Investment will be sought to improve the business environment and attractiveness of this strategic industrial location.

Proposals for appropriate economic uses within the Spring Villas business use area will be supported.

The mixed use redevelopment of Ballard Mews will be supported to provide employment and housing development where this enhances the site’s relationship with Edgware major centre and surrounding heritage.

New development will support restoration and deculverting projects along the Edgware Brook where these would achieve integrated flood management, biodiversity and where appropriate public access benefits as part of the Green Grid.

The redevelopment of identified, previously developed sites to collectively contribute at least 1,229 homes towards the Borough’s housing allocation, set out in Core Policy CS1 H, will be encouraged.
