Puttin up front gates will now be subject to planning permission (Photo: Pixabay) People living in some Harrow’s conservation areas will now need planning permission to make changes to the front boundaries of their properties. Harrow Council’s planning committee last week agreed to impose new rules in ten conservation areas across the borough. It means any changes to, demolition of, or erection of gates, walls, fences, or other enclosures will now need to be approved by the council. These previously fell under permitted development rights. The affected areas are East End Park, Pinner High Street, Pinnerwood Park, Pinner Hill, Little Common, Stanmore Hill, Kerry Avenue, Canons Park, Brookshill Drive and Grimsdyke Estate, and Harrow Weald Park.
