354 - 356 Pinner Road (old Safeway site)
Application P/3481/11 for conversion of the single retail unit into three retail units granted at the Planning Committee meeting of 18 April 2012.
The deed relating to land at 354-366 Pinner Road Harrow (Section 106 agreement) of 10 October 2006 between the Mayor and Burgesses of the London Borough of Harrow, Paddington Churches Housing Association and Megabowl Investments Ltd states (Page 9):
The First Schedule
Redevelopment of the Land by the erection of a 3-6 storey building to provide supermarket, 112 flats community facility, parking and access.
We asked the planning Case Officer if it would be necessary to alter this formally before application P/3481/11 could be considered. He replied that the application "refers to a supermarket (singular), and none specifies the size of the supermarket. The wording of the agreement does not require that the supermarket be retained as a single unit." and "The division of the internal space does not require planning permission".
-------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~ --------------------------------------
547 Pinner Road (Kool Cakes)
Application P/3156/11 for single storey rear extension; AC units at rear; replacement shopfront & alterations (retrospective). (Not currently on planning website)

-------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~ --------------------------------------
Broadfields, Headstone Lane
Ref P/0170/12; a request for an Environmental Impact Assessment scoping opinion for use of 2.2 hectares as a site for touring caravans and camping (75 pitches) and ancillary development (office, toilet blocks, hardstanding). Part of the rest would be retained for pavilion and field sports.
This is not an application for development but a request to the Local Planning Authority for its opinion under The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011.
We understand from the Planning Department that "In most cases where a scoping opinion is requested, the intention is to submit a planning application" and "there is no obligation at this stage ... to consult neighbours" but this would be done were an application to be submitted.
The site is on Green Belt land. Special restrictions apply to development.
We have advised the Planning Case Officer that the postcode for this and several previous applications for this site are incorrectly shown as HA3 6NN - it should be HA2 6NN.
We also noted that the site address is shown as "Entrance Between 220 And 230 Headstone Lane" rather than "Broadfields".
As postcode and street name are two of the three main quick search methods, this makes the application history for the site difficult to track down.
-------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~ --------------------------------------
