Harrow in North West London includes Harrow town, Pinner, and Wealdstone. About 21.6% of the borough is Green Belt, framing suburban development. Known for historic streets, schools, and heritage buildings, planning focuses on urban densification and sensitive residential schemes. We can advise and support projects throughout Harrow.
In the last year Harrow decided 1,316 applications which is well above the national average of 988. The approval rate was 78% (slightly below the national average of 88%) and 69% of applications were decided on time, (significantly above the national average of 59%). Stats updated March 2026 from gov. sources. See how Harrow performs relative to other LPAs in our LPA hub.
