About Planning

Planning (also known as development control) is the process, laid down in legislation, which regulates the development and use of land and buildings.

Harrow Council's Unitary Development Plan (UDP) sets out the planning policies against which planning applications will be assessed.

The council encourages and facilitates appropriate development, recognising its significance in building and protecting a healthy economy and environment, the council also has to carefully consider the potential impact of proposed development and protect the public interest from inappropriate development.

Unitary Development Plan policies
With effect from 28 September 2007 a number of the adopted Harrow Unitary Development Plan policies are being deleted. This is part of a national requirement (introduced in the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004) to reduce the number of local policies as Local Planning Authorities prepare their new Local Development Frameworks.

You can view a list of all the policies to be retained, those to be deleted, and the London Plan policies that are relevant to the deleted policies by visiting this link:
