Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1

services, contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policy CS1 of the Harrow Core Strategy
(2012), Policy DM30 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013) and Policy HO10 of
Harrow’s New Draft Local Plan 2021-2041 (Regulation 19 Version) (2025).
