Planning permission: Harrow

Pinner - Front

09 Apr Planning permission: Harrow

Planning Permission has been granted for 25 flats in North London, Harrow on the site of the former public house St. George IV. The site is located adjacent to the Pinner Conservation Area and the Network Rail Overground which forms a strong edge.

The proposed development will create a mixed-use scheme with a commercial unit at ground floor and a mix of 1- and 2 bed units above. The river Pinn and the surroundings to the rear will offer a large amenity space of 500 m2 plus additional private balconies.

A south facing green feature wall over the fourth and fifth storeys will attract visual interest along Marsh Road. The development will provide a green roof and photovoltaics as part of code level 4.

The proposed brick building is sympathetic in scale, height and façade rhythm to the adjoining property and steps up to 5 storeys to the network rail site to create a strong landmark.

Minnie

In the corner of the room, her bed lies still,
No more the gentle paws that roamed at will.
Minnie, our friend, with eyes so kind,
Left paw prints of love on every mind.

Her wagging tail, a welcome so bright,
Turned long workdays into pure delight.
She'd sit by our side, a comforting guide,
In her quiet way, she was our pride.

Her little nose would nudge for a treat,
Or curl up beneath us, so warm, so sweet.
Now the office feels a bit less whole,
For Minnie brought joy that filled the soul.

Though she’s gone, her spirit stays,
In every corner, in countless ways.
We miss her dearly, her love so true,
Minnie, our friend, we’ll always miss you.
