Latest scheme for Rayners Lane Estate regeneration submitted

PLANS to built 21 new properties on the Rayners Lane Estate have been lodged with Harrow Council.
The scheme is the latest phase of the multi-million pound regeneration project being carried out by Eastcote-based housing association Home and concerns a vacant plot of fenced-off land in Coles Crescent previously occupied by 24 homes.
Home are proposing to construct a four-storey block comprising two two-bed wheelchair-accessible flats and six two-bed flats, with a row of staggered terracing to the south-west containing four two-bed houses, five three-bed houses and four four-bed houses.
Twenty-three parking spaces and eight bicycle spaces are included.
Documents submitted to the council reveal that when Home's architects approached the authority's planning officers for pre-application advice, they were told the "flats needed a complete redesign".
