The flagship project in Harrow’s regeneration programme, the site is currently the civic centre and offices for Harrow Council, located close to Harrow and Wealdstone Station. The 4.4 hectare site will be developed in phases, into a residential-led, mixed use urban quarter. The project involves the delivery of about 850 homes (including at least 200 build-to-rent units to be retained by the council), a new school, commercial and community space, and high quality public realm. A multiple award winning design team (led by Stephen Taylor Architects) was appointed in January 2016 to create a site masterplan and detail designs for ‘phase 1’.
2. byron QuArterHarrow Leisure Centre, Christchurch Avenue, Harrow HA3 5BD
The vision for Byron Quarter is to create a true community, which has modern leisure facilities, a beautiful park and sporting activities at its heart. The project will provide a mix of housing types and tenures, including council-owned build to rent, social and affordable, and market sale. New and improved public space for community events, as well as indoor and outdoor recreation and sport, will help to create a vibrant neighbourhood and leisure destination for Harrow residents.

4. greenhIll wAyGreenhill Way Car Park, Greenhill Way, Harrow HA1 1LE
Of central importance to the Harrow town centre’s regeneration, this scheme will re-energise the area, create vibrancy and drive economic growth. The site is designated ‘mixed use’ in the Harrow and Wealdstone Area Action Plan and leading architects Karakusevic Carson have completed a comprehensive feasibility study. This considered options around high quality, commercial and residential development including homes, offices, retail, hotel and leisure. The final strategy will be consistent with the council’s commitment to deliver excellent urban design, architecture and public realm, high quality housing, economic growth and inward investment.
5. vAughAn roAD ↗Vaughan Road Car Park, Vaughan Road, Harrow HA1 3XD
The underused Vaughan Road car park is part of Harrow Council’s build-to-rent programme for the delivery of a number of new Council-owned rented homes. Adam Khan Architects was appointed in May 2016 to design a mixed-tenure, mixed-use building, with 32 homes and community and commercial use on the ground floor. With improvements to
public realm and the transport network, the design process has involved extensive consultation with the local community including productive workshops. The project will start on site during 2017 with completion planned for 2019.

9. hArrow Arts centreHarrow Arts Centre, 171 Uxbridge Road, Hatch End HA5 4EA
Feasibility work by architect Andrzej Blonski shows that the site has the potential of being sensitively developed around the listed Elliott Hall as a much-improved cultural destination. Subject to funding, a number of options are being considered including the building of a new 600-seat theatre and the renewal of Elliott Hall to include a smaller theatre with an area for events and private functions. A cinema showing first run films, live performance events and special family events could also be created.

Private SiteS
12. gAyton roADGayton Road Car Park, Gayton Road, Harrow HA1 2HB

The scheme is conceived in the style of historic mansion blocks, with five blocks of between four and ten storeys, designed by architects Maccreanor Lavington. The site is bounded by mature trees which help to integrate the new development with the existing mixed scale buildings. Retention of the trees has helped shape the concept of an internal garden, accessible to all the blocks. The development includes 358 flats: 233 private market, 53 private rented sector, 72 affordable homes and a new community workspace hub. Basement level parking maximises the space for landscaping and public realm at ground level.
