Plans for affordable homes at Canons Park Station now submitted

Catalyst, in partnership with Transport for London, submitted plans on 4 March 2020 to build 118 affordable homes at Canons Park Station car park while retaining a proportion of the commuter car parking.

Building B and C from Donnefield Avenue

However, we understand that in the current crisis people have had the health of themselves, their family and friends at the forefront of their minds, rather than development proposals. As a result, we agreed with the Council to pause consideration of this application until there was greater clarity on the relaxation of social distancing measures.

The formal statutory consultation by Harrow Council will now begin today and run for an extended six-week period. Details about how to have your say will be publicised by the Council. You can view the full application and make comments online on the Harrow Planning Portal (Ref: P/0858/20) .

Providing 100% affordable, car-free housing on this well-connected site will help encourage more journeys in London to be on foot, by bicycle or by public transport, and help relieve the strain on Harrow’s social housing waiting list, which currently has 1,200 families on it. We hope you will be able to support this important application.

TfL and Catalyst remain committed to staying in touch with the local community while Harrow Council considers this application, whilst of course following the guidelines around social distancing.

Regular updates will be posted on www.canonspark.commonplace.is . A summary of the proposals has been posted alongside key application documents and a question and answer function.

Please let us know of any questions you may have on the ‘ Our Proposals ’ page, by email to hello@harrowstationsites.co.uk or phone 020 3633 7915 .

Feedback from consultation events

Thank you to those of you who attended the consultation events for the Canons Park Station car park site. The consultation process is still open, and we invite you to continue offering your feedback on the proposals through this website.

We are pleased to see that a significant number of consultees supported the introduction of secure cycle parking for commuters at the station, as one of the cornerstones of our proposals. This will help TfL with their overall strategy to encourage more people to walk, cycle and take public transport – addressing concerns with public health and climate change.

With regards to car parking, recognise the need for car parking while also making sure housing for commuters is provided, and as a result there will be around 60 spaces kept.

We understand concerns about local services and amenities. We will be bringing these to discussions with the London Borough of Harrow throughout the design development process to help resolve concerns.

Regarding the design of the building, we are still at the early design stage of the planning process, and any views on building materials and designs will be considered by the project team.

We want to redevelop Canons Park Station car park to provide 120 new 100% affordable homes on public land, in locations with excellent transport links, that are much needed due to London’s housing crisis.
