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

How designation changes a Harrow drawing package: Harrow Council maintains 29 conservation areas, including Harrow on the Hill, Pinner Village, Stanmore. Inside any of them a Harrow drawing package cannot rely on permitted development, and the route becomes a £548 householder application determined in 8 weeks rather than a £249 prior approval in 6 weeks. Harrow Weald sets the tone for Harrow casework.

Article 4 and your Harrow drawing package: Harrow Council has made no borough-wide direction, so permitted development for a drawing package in Harrow generally survives outside Harrow conservation areas and listed curtilages. A Lawful Development Certificate at £274 is how a HA1 owner records that a drawing package was lawful.

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.

What happens if a Harrow property sits on a boundary?

• 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 drawing packages 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 drawing packages priced for Harrow are re-checked against Barnet policy whenever the Harrow address sits on that edge.
• Brent — the Brent boundary runs against Harrow, so a drawing package a street from Harrow is decided by Brent Council instead. Brent runs 22 conservation areas across NW2 and its neighbours, which is why drawing packages priced for Harrow are re-checked against Brent policy whenever the Harrow address sits on that edge.
