Plans Submitted For Homes In Harrow

Land Securities has submitted an outline planning application for a 23ha mixed-use development in the London Borough of Harrow designed by BDP.

Kodak, who own the land, have consolidated their production plant since transforming into a successful digital company. Together with Land Securities they will develop land that is surplus to their requirements during the next ten years, providing an important regeneration opportunity in West London.

The proposals were shaped by extensive public consultation involving over 2,000 people in nearly 70 hours of public exhibitions and design workshops.

New uses on the site will bring employment-led growth, transforming the area and creating up to 1,500 new jobs, as well as almost 1000 new homes and a range of community facilities. A range of retail provision is proposed which could include restaurants, cafés, and a food store. A significant amount of green open space will also be provided.

Stephen Neal, development director for Land Securities, said: “These facilities will play an important role in creating an attractive and welcoming environment; bringing vitality and linking the site to the surrounding areas.”
