2 Introduction

Local Development Framework

1 The Local Development Framework is a new type of plan that will replace the existing HarrowUnitary Development Plan 2004 to create a new set of planning documents to help plan for, andmanage, development in the Borough to 2026 and beyond.

2 Harrow's Local Development Framework will consist of a number of Development PlanDocuments (DPDs) including:

The Core Strategy DPDwhich provides the over-arching strategy and policies and the long-termvision for Harrow.

Site Allocations DPD which allocates sites for housing, employment, retail, open space, andother uses

Development Management Policies DPD which sets out the detailed policies against whichplanning applications will be assessed.

Area Action Plan for Harrow and Wealdstone Intensification Area which provides detailedpolicies to manage development in this area.

5

What is the Site Allocations Development Plan Document?

3 The Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) will identify sites throughout theBorough for development up to 2026. It must be prepared in-line with the policies in the CoreStrategy which sets out the vision and objectives for the spatial development of the area.

4 The Site Allocations DPD sets out the allocation of sites as needed to achieve the objectivesof the Core Strategy. This consultation is an initial stage in the preparation of the Site AllocationsDPD but the final document is likely to contain the following:

Locations for a range of housing development to meet the needs of the local current andfuture population ()

Locations for a range of employment sites

Locations for mixed use development

Specific land requirements for infrastructure

Open spaces

What is the Issues and Options stage?

5 The Issues and Options consultation stage is the preliminary stage in the process of developingthe Site Allocations Development Plan Document. It considers some of the key issues and optionsfor the development of sites in the Borough.

6 It is important to note that the sites included in this document are preliminary options and notall the sites will necessarily be identified in the final DPD. It is from this initial stage and publicconsultation that we will be able to develop a Preferred Option which can be taken forward forfurther public consultation.

7Sustainability Appraisal of the Site Allocations DPD

8The Site Allocations DPD (along with all other LDDs) is subject to a Sustainability Appraisal (SA).Please refer to the SA web page to view SA Documents which have been produced in line withthe Site Allocations DPD.

Potential housing sites have been consulted on previously as part of the Core Strategy.

2 IntroductionSite Specific Allocations DPD Issues and Options Consultation

3 Retail

Issues

3.1 The shopping centres in the Borough are important service centres whose vitality and viabilityare important for the local economy. The Core Strategy and draft Development Managementpolicies set out how the character and diversity of shopping centres will be maintained by:

Resisting the loss of shop units in retail use (Class A1) particularly in the Primary Frontagesof the centres

Promoting uses which are complementary to the Primary Frontage within adjoining SecondaryFrontages

Promoting mixed use development in district and local centres

Protecting and enhancing existing local centres and other local shops.

3.2 The purpose of this consultation is to seek your views on changes to designated shoppingfrontages in North Harrow, Pinner, South Harrow and Wealdstone District Centres.

3.3 Primary Frontages include the main retail core of the centre where Class A1 premises, suchas shops, Post Offices, travel agencies, hairdressers and dry cleaners, are normally protected.

3.4 Secondary Frontages include premises on the edge of centres where a wider mix of usesare permitted including financial and professional services, restaurants and cafés, pubs and hotfood take-aways.

3.5 The following maps set out the suggested designations across a number of centres in theDistrict. These are based on the existing UDP designations but have been updated to reflect recentchanges to the character of the centres and local evidence, primarily Harrow's Retail Study 2009,and pedestrian counts and shop frontage vacancy rates 2010. We would like your views on theproposed designations.

3.6 The Harrow Retail Study (2009) found that 34-56 (even) Station Road and 435 Pinner Road(former Lloyds bank) contain similar retailers to those found in the primary shopping frontageopposite, and recommended for consistency that either (i) this frontage be re-designated as primaryshopping frontage; or (ii) all frontages in the centre be re-designated as secondary shoppingfrontage. Evidence shows that there are long-term, high levels of vacancy within the centre andin particular within the existing primary frontage. To support a greater mix of appropriate towncentre uses and help reduce long-term vacancy, the Council's preferred option is to re-designateall frontages in the centre as secondary.

3.7 The Harrow Retail Study (2009) found that 38-52 (even) and 29-39 (odd) High Street containmainly independent and service retailers, and that this frontage does not have the same footfallas the rest of the centre's primary shopping frontage. For these reasons the Study recommendsthat this part of Pinner High Street be re-designated as secondary shopping frontage.

South Harrow DistrictCentre

3.8 The Harrow Retail Study (2009) found that 273-295 (odd) Northolt Road contains key nationalretailers within the centre such as Boots, Shoe Zone andGreggs, and recommended for consistencythat either (i) this frontage be re-designated as primary shopping frontage; or (ii) all frontages inthe centre be re-designated as secondary shopping frontage. Evidence shows that the centreenjoys a good range of shops and services, including national and independent retailers, and lowlevels of vacancy. To maintain South Harrow as a vibrant, healthy district centre, the Council'spreferred option is to extend the primary frontage to 273-295 Northolt Road.

Wealdstone District Centre

3.9 The Harrow Retail Study (2009) found that 87-111b (odd) High Street contain independentand service retailers similar to those found in the existing secondary shopping frontage within thecentre. For this reasons the Study recommends that the secondary shopping frontage be extendedto 87-111b High Street.

Neighbourhood Parades

3.10 There are a number of non-designated Neighbourhood parades in the Borough, which theCore Strategy Overarching Policy seeks to protect for town centre and community uses, as theyare important top up and community service destinations. The Site Allocations DPD identifiesthese parades to enable them to be protected from inappropriate uses. They are identified below,and we would like your views on these designations as Neighbourhood Parades.

4 Employment

Issues

4.1 Several studies have been carried out on employment and economic development to informthe Core Strategy. The studies consider that in meeting our likely future requirements:

4.2 • There is an oversupply of office floor space in the Borough

4.3 • There is

4.4 To address these issues and reflect changes to employment sites that have taken place

4.5 over the last 10 years, we are revising the boundaries of existing areas that are currently

4.6 zoned for employment use.

4.7 By allocating land for employment we are protecting existing employment uses and

4.8 directing new employment uses to these areas. Employment uses include offices, factories,

4.9 warehousing and light industrial.

4.10 Areas identified as having potential for mixed use may include development for

4.11 employment, residential and other uses to contribute to sustainable communities and

4.12 reduce the need to travel. We would like your views on the following proposals:

The application was withdrawn on 11th March 2004.

Commentary

5.21 The Rayners Public House is of special interest as a 1930s public house, with many of itsarchitectural details and internal plan form largely intact. The restoration of this building to use asa public house, or other appropriate town centre/community uses which preserve its special interestand allow public access to the interior, is be sought. Sensitive residential redevelopment of thecar park is appropriate, and should contribute to the listed building's restoration and (if necessary)help to secure its future.

Commentary

6.3 The site is largely designated as open space on the 2004 UDP proposals map, but a partof the site (forming an integral part of the laying field) was omitted from the designated 'green'area on the proposals map apparently due to the word 'Headstone' appearing over it on theOrdnance Survey base map. This allocation seeks to correct this error.
