Several listed and historic buildings within the London Borough of Harrow are facing significant proposed changes, according to recent planning applications submitted to Harrow Council. These applications cover a range of alterations, from extensive renovations to changes in building use.
Public House and Residential Conversions
Harrow Council receives plans for children's home and property extensions
Applications submitted for a change of use on Harrow View, alongside numerous residential extensions across the borough.
The Change of Hart Public House, located at 21 High Street, Edgware, is seeking listed building consent for internal and external alterations across all floors and the roof. The plans include fabric repairs, roof retiling, internal reordering, and the creation of en-suite bathrooms for guest rooms. The building is intended to continue its use as a public house with ancillary accommodation.
Stanmore Hall is also subject to a proposal for listed building consent. The application seeks to convert a third-floor penthouse flat into two separate two-bedroom flats. External modifications proposed include adapting two dormer windows to provide access to roof terraces and the installation of two air source heat pumps.
Pinner Properties and Archway Retention

Volunteer of the Year and Contribution to the Community awards went to Ruth Boff, while Pinner Rotary secured two team accolades.
In Pinner, a regularisation proposal has been submitted for unauthorised works undertaken at 36-38 High Street. This application seeks to formalise changes made to the internal courtyard, rear garden landscaping, front elevation signage, and internal kitchen and servery arrangements. Separately, Tudor Cottage on Moss Lane is seeking permission to retain the removal of a collapsed curtilage-listed entrance archway, without reinstating it.
Further proposals in Pinner include a single-storey front extension at 45 East Towers, which would incorporate a front porch. An accompanying single-storey side to rear extension with front roof lights and solar panels is also part of this application.
Stanmore and Harrow Health Hub Proposals
A series of changes have been proposed for a property at 2 Old Forge Close, Stanmore. These include a single-storey front infill extension with a porch, a first-floor front extension, and the conversion of a garage into a habitable room.
In Harrow, The White House on Lowlands Road is the subject of a proposed change of use application. The building, currently used as an educational facility, could be converted into a community health hub, providing GP surgeries and primary healthcare services.
