DM 27: Amenity Space

Residential development proposals that provide appropriate amenity space will be supported. The appropriate form and amount of amenity space should be informed by the Mayor’s London Housing Design Guide and have regard to:

  • the location and dwelling mix;
  • the likely needs of future occupiers of the development;
  • the character and pattern of existing development in the area;
  • the need to safeguard the privacy and amenity of neighbouring occupiers; and
  • the quality of the space proposed including landscaping (see Policy DM22 Trees and Landscaping).

Major residential development proposals should have regard to the contribution that the design and layout of amenity space can make to the objectives of Harrow’s Biodiversity Action Plan and Green Grid.

Proposals that would fail to provide appropriate amenity space will be refused.
