This is a rewarding role where you can make a difference to our great city, whilst learning new skills and meeting new people.

UPDATE – Objection to installation of “temporary vehicle access” for the development of a part of the Tesco car park.

The application for approval of the “Construction Logistics Plan” for the development of flats on a part of the Tesco Pinner Green car park (reference PL/1276/24) has been refused by the Local Planning Authority (London Borough of Harrow) for the following reason:

“The temporary access on Cuckoo Hill has not been agreed with the Highways Department and no visibility splays have been submitted showing safe entry and exit to and from the site. Therefore the submitted details have failed to demonstrate safe access to and from the site for construction traffic contrary to Policies DM1 and DM43 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan 2013 and Policies D14 and T7 of the London Plan (2021).”
