Harrow Council’s new Conservative administration is formally reviewing the Council’s planning and regeneration policies as well as improving the quality and living standards of proposed new developments. The Conservative Council is committed to protecting the suburban character of Harrow.

Cllr Marilyn Ashton, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Planning & Regeneration said:

“We must protect our suburbs – it’s what people expect the council to do. That’s why we are working hard to get this right and stop tall buildings and inappropriate developments from being built.”

In the last decade, the previous Labour leadership of Harrow Council did little to protect our suburbs from inappropriate tall and dense developments. They did not properly use policies and powers they already had to resist tall buildings in our suburban neighbourhoods.

Conservatives will not make the same mistake. The new Conservative Cabinet will use every means possible to prevent inappropriate high-rise developments in our suburbs.
