Purpose

The Harrow Local Plan is one of the key
documents in the Council’s policy framework. The current plan
is considered in many respects to be ‘out-of-date’ in
the context of national and regional planning policy and therefore
needs to be updated / replaced. The new plan is being prepared in
the
context of Government deadlines under the National Planning Policy
Framework (NPPF) (2024) and delegated authority was agreed by
Council to allow the process to continue in an expeditious manner,
subject to the terms
of the express authorisation.
It is confirmed that:
(1) There are no major modifications arising from the Regulation 19
statutory
public consultation. The plan to be submitted is the same as that
previously approved by Council for consultation.
(2) Submission under delegated authority is needed due to the draft
National
Planning Policy Framework 2024 being published in its final form
prior to the
outcome of the Regulation 19 consultation.

Content

That the draft Harrow Local Plan 2021-2041 and

(England) Regulations 2012.
