Planning Permission in Kenton | Fixed-Fee Plans

No Article 4 Direction covers Harrow, which keeps the Kenton permitted-development route open on unlisted houses. Kenton is 1930s semi-detached; near Kenton station that context does most of the work in an officer report. Check Stanmore before assuming permitted development on a Kenton house; Harrow designates 29 such areas. That boundary is verified for the HA3 property at the outset.

Article 4 directions are checked street by street in Kenton; the borough-wide answer is rarely the whole answer. A HA3 survey answers most of it — where the 1930s semi-detached allows the rear wall to go. The borough policy layer over every HA3 address is set out on Harrow planning. The Kenton survey then carries into building regulations drawings in Kenton if the project runs on to construction.

The HA3 bottleneck is validation. London Borough of Harrow needs one to two weeks, and a missing drawing resets it. Everything begins by measuring the Kenton property properly — openings, levels, structure — before a proposal exists.

Statutory periods: 8 weeks from validation for a householder application, 13 weeks for a major scheme, 6 weeks for prior approval with a 21 days neighbour consultation, and 5 weeks for a full plans building control submission. A party structure notice requires one month notice and two months where excavation is involved.

Officer queries on a Kenton application come to us, not to you. You get the full Kenton set as PDFs, plus CAD on request.

Neighbour comment is what shapes most Kenton decisions; policy rarely decides alone. The Kenton survey includes the boundary line and neighbouring window positions.

Late notices are what stall Kenton sites more than planning does. Once consent is granted, loft conversion drawings follows for the HA3 property.

Kenton is characterised by 1930s semi-detached, concentrated across HA3 in the Harrow Weald / Kenton / Wealdstone area. Every Kenton scheme starts from what is actually there: 1930s semi-detached, surveyed to the millimetre before a proposal is drawn. On HA3 plots specifically, on these 1930s semis the prior approval route often replaces a full application, and the drawing set is smaller as a result. On Kenton plots that shows up in the section drawings. Case officers at Harrow Council look first at whether a HA3 scheme keeps the eaves and ridge line of the Kenton row.

Harrow Council assesses Kenton basements on standard grounds. If the HA3 job later needs house extension drawings for HA3 properties or architectural drawings, the existing drawings already carry the measurements.

Streets and landmarks we survey around Kenton

• Hendon Park — gardens deep enough for the 8 weeks householder route on a Hendon Park plot.
• Kenton Road — frontages visible from the highway, so Stanmore materials detail governs the Kenton Road elevation.
• Edgware Road — frontages visible from the highway, so Stanmore materials detail governs the Edgware Road elevation.
• Northwick Park — closet wings that change how a rear extension meets the Northwick Park back addition.
• Mill Hill — shared flank walls, so Mill Hill party structure notices go out before work starts.
• Golders Green — shared flank walls, so Golders Green party structure notices go out before work starts.
• Kenton station — schemes in view of it attract closer officer scrutiny.
• Northwick Park Hospital — schemes in view of it attract closer officer scrutiny.
• St Gregory's Catholic Science College — nearby 1930s semi-detached takes its scale from this frontage.
