Planning Permission Drawings in Harrow

Where in Harrow does a planning drawing set actually get determined?

Every Harrow postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a planning drawing set there. Harrow fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not planning drawing set estimates.

How does a planning drawing set differ street by street across Harrow?

Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few Harrow streets, and each one changes what a planning drawing set can achieve at that address.

• Kenton (HA3) — planning drawing set work in Kenton means 1930s semi-detached. Kenton is 1930s semi-detached. On these 1930s semis the prior approval route often replaces a full application throughout HA3. Harrow Council decides the Kenton application, and Kenton station anchors the Kenton location plan.
• Wealdstone (HA3) — planning drawing set work in Wealdstone means 1930s semi-detached, post-war flats. Wealdstone is 1930s semi-detached, post-war. On these 1930s semis the prior approval route often replaces a full application throughout HA3. Harrow Council decides the Wealdstone application, and Wealdstone High Street anchors the Wealdstone location plan.
• North Harrow (HA2) — a planning drawing set in North Harrow starts from 1930s semi-detached, and North Harrow reads as 1930s semi-detached. On these 1930s semis the prior approval route often replaces a full application in HA2. Harrow Council assesses North Harrow planning drawings against its own North Harrow character guidance, and the location plan we draw for North Harrow references North Harrow Tube.
• South Harrow (HA2) — 1930s semi-detached defines South Harrow, where 1930s semi-detached set what a planning drawing set can do. On these 1930s semis the prior approval route often replaces a full application across HA2. Any South Harrow planning drawing set is validated by Harrow Council, with South Harrow Tube the usual South Harrow reference point on the site plan.
• Harrow on the Hill (HA1) — planning drawing set work in Harrow on the Hill means georgian and victorian houses, listed buildings. Harrow on the Hill is Georgian and Victorian conservation hilltop. Applications on Georgian stock here almost always need a heritage statement alongside the drawings throughout HA1. Harrow Council decides the Harrow on the Hill application, and Harrow School anchors the Harrow on the Hill location plan.
• Pinner (HA5) — planning drawing set work in Pinner means tudor fragments, edwardian villas, 1930s semi-detached. Pinner is Tudor and 1930s village. Edwardian houses here typically need the same householder set plus a roof plan where a dormer is proposed throughout HA5. Harrow Council decides the Pinner application, and Pinner High Street anchors the Pinner location plan.
• Stanmore (HA7) — a planning drawing set in Stanmore starts from 1930s semi-detached, edwardian villas, and Stanmore reads as 1930s semi-detached, Green Belt fringe. Edwardian houses here typically need the same householder set plus a roof plan where a dormer is proposed in HA7. Harrow Council assesses Stanmore planning drawings against its own Stanmore character guidance, and the location plan we draw for Stanmore references Stanmore Tube.

What local planning policy applies to a planning drawing set in Harrow?

Conservation areas covering Harrow: Harrow Council runs 29, and Pinner Village, Stanmore, Harrow Weald are the ones Harrow owners meet most. A planning drawing set inside a Harrow conservation area loses permitted development, so the Harrow submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Stanmore a planning drawing set is judged on the street elevation first.

Harrow permitted development status: there is no borough-wide direction from Harrow Council, so a planning drawing set at a HA1 address is normally still permitted development. We certify that with a £274 Lawful Development Certificate rather than leaving a Harrow sale to argue it later.

Harrow housing stock: 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. Read that before choosing a planning drawing set route in Harrow — construction, not postcode, sets what is achievable. Harrow Council charges £548 for a householder application and has 8 weeks to determine it.

Who decides a planning drawing set on the edge of Harrow?

• Hillingdon — the Hillingdon boundary runs against Harrow, so a planning drawing set a street from Harrow is decided by Hillingdon Council instead. Hillingdon runs 29 conservation areas across HA4 and its neighbours, which is why planning drawings priced for Harrow are re-checked against Hillingdon policy whenever the Harrow address sits on that edge.
• Barnet — adjoining Harrow, with 20 conservation areas centred on N2. A planning drawing set on the far side of the Harrow line is determined by Barnet Council, so the Harrow quote for planning drawings is checked against Barnet guidance before it is issued.
• Brent — cross the Harrow boundary and Brent Council takes the planning drawing set instead, applying 22 conservation areas of its own around NW2. We re-price planning drawings at the Harrow edge because Brent policy and Harrow policy rarely align on planning drawing set depth.
