The Planning Committee of Harrow Council met on Wednesday 17 January 2024, granting planning permission for two applications. The committee approved alterations to windows at the War Memorial & Old Harrovian Room and the creation of three temporary classrooms at Park High School.

War Memorial & Old Harrovian Room - P/2736/23

The committee granted Listed Building Consent for alterations to two casement windows at the War Memorial & Old Harrovian Room¹ on High Street, Harrow Hill. The proposal involves inserting commemorative stained glass in honour of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, matching the style and colouring of existing stained glass in the Alex Fitch Room. The decision to grant consent was unanimous.

Park High School, Thistlecroft Gardens, Stanmore - PL/0456/23

Planning permission was granted for the creation of three temporary classrooms and six freestanding toilets at Park High School² in Stanmore. These temporary structures are needed to replace eight existing modular classrooms that are no longer usable due to safety reasons. The proposal was deemed acceptable as it would preserve the school's educational facilities without detracting from the character and appearance of the site or surrounding area. The decision to grant permission was unanimous. The temporary nature of the classrooms means the land can be restored to its former condition after three years or upon completion of associated works to the English block.
