Where in Harrow does a drawing package actually get determined?
Every Harrow postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates
it and the authority that validates a drawing package there. Harrow fees below are the
statutory England rates for 2026, not drawing package estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a drawing package |
|---|
| HA1 | Harrow / Harrow on the Hill | Georgian and Victorian houses, listed buildings | Harrow / Harrow on the Hill sits wholly inside HA1, so Harrow Council validates every drawing package submitted from an HA1 address. |
| HA2 | North Harrow / South Harrow | 1930s semi-detached | A drawing package at an HA2 address in North Harrow / South Harrow is determined by Harrow Council under its own Local Plan policies for North Harrow / South Harrow. |
| HA3 | Harrow Weald / Kenton / Wealdstone | 1930s semi-detached | HA3 covers Harrow Weald / Kenton / Wealdstone only; Harrow Council handles the drawing package, and Harrow Weald / Kenton / Wealdstone case officers apply the HA3 conservation-area map. |
| HA7 | Stanmore | 1930s semi-detached, Edwardian villas | A drawing package at an HA7 address in Stanmore is determined by Harrow Council under its own Local Plan policies for Stanmore. |
| HA5 | Pinner / Eastcote | Tudor fragments, Edwardian villas, 1930s semi-detached | A drawing package in Pinner / Eastcote may land with Hillingdon Council or Harrow Council — HA5 crosses the boundary, and the HA5 policies map decides it street by street. |

Does Harrow planning policy restrict a drawing package?
Harrow conservation designations: there are 29 across Harrow Council, Harrow Weald, Harrow on the Hill, Pinner Village among them. Designation costs a Harrow owner the permitted-development route: a drawing package then needs a £258 householder application over 8 weeks, in place of the £120 prior approval route that takes 6 weeks. Harrow on the Hill is the Harrow designation that most often changes a drawing package design.
Harrow permitted development status: there is no borough-wide direction from Harrow Council, so a drawing package at a HA1 address is normally still permitted development. We certify that with a £129 Lawful Development Certificate rather than leaving a Harrow sale to argue it later.
The building fabric around Harrow: 1930s semi-detached dominates; Edwardian villas in Harrow on the Hill and Pinner; Metropolitan Green Belt in Stanmore and Harrow Weald; post-war flats around Harrow Central. Outer north-west London suburban; Harrow on the Hill has exceptionally strict heritage controls; rest of borough permissive. A drawing package in Harrow is scoped against that stock first. Our Harrow fixed fee starts at £840; the £1,750 Complete package runs the Harrow scheme through Harrow Council planning and building control in one go.
Which neighbouring authorities border Harrow?
- Hillingdon — cross the Harrow boundary and Hillingdon Council takes the drawing package instead, applying 29 conservation areas of its own around HA4. We re-price architectural drawings at the Harrow edge because Hillingdon policy and Harrow policy rarely align on drawing package depth.
- Barnet — the Barnet boundary runs against Harrow, so a drawing package a street from Harrow is decided by Barnet Council instead. Barnet runs 20 conservation areas across N2 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for Harrow are re-checked against Barnet policy whenever the Harrow address sits on that edge.
- Brent — adjoining Harrow, with 22 conservation areas centred on NW2. A drawing package on the far side of the Harrow line is determined by Brent Council, so the Harrow quote for architectural drawings is checked against Brent guidance before it is issued.
