Eaton Close

The surrounding area is predominantly residential in nature, with Eaton Close itself being characterised by two storey semi-detached and terraced properties. Adjacent to the western boundary of the northernmost block of garages is Green Belt land. Existing frontages within the street scene are characterised by open and verdant landscaping. There are existing mature trees within/directly adjacent to the site boundary. The site area is 590 sqm.

The garages will be vacated prior to disposal to give vacant possession of the site.

Planning statement: The site is at high risk of flooding as it is located within surface water flood zone 3a. As such for any new development a sequential test would be required in line with government standing advice which can be found here:- https://www.gov.uk/guidance/flood-risk-assessment-the-sequential-test-f…

There are windows along the eastern flank wall of 8 Eaton Close at first floor level and a window on the western flank wall of 9 Eaton Close at first floor level. The flank walls of properties 16 and 17 Hill Close immediately abut the site boundary to the west, however these do not comprise any windows. The relationship with neighbouring properties in terms of overlooking, privacy and daylight and sunlight should be considered, having regard to the guidance in Harrow’s SPD.

Local Planning Authority comments (see Harrow Council LPA Planning Statement) indicate that the site is suitable for two residential dwelling houses, two storeys in scale with an in keeping design. Any proposal would need to ensure that adequate off-street car parking is provided.

The Planning Statement is included within the technical information pack.
