Grange Farm Estate is in South Harrow. It was first built in the 1960s. It had 282 homes constructed using fibreglass panels.
In early 2015 the Council decided to proceed with its proposal to regenerate the Grange Farm Estate, replacing the outdated properties with modern homes.
The regeneration of the estate will deliver approximately 500 new high-quality homes. There will also be a brand-new community centre, improved public spaces with play areas, and better walking routes to connect with the wider neighbourhood.
We have already completed 89 new homes as part of Phase 1. We are continuing to progress future phases of the development.

Formal notices:
Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO)
A CPO is a legal tool we use to acquire land without the consent of the owner.
To improve Grange Farm estate, we needed to get all rights to the land in the estate.
The CPO was confirmed by the Secretary of State in 2023, and we have now secured all interests on the estate, including those previously owned by Notting Hill Genesis.
