Development land wanted in Harrow
We are looking for development land in and around Harrow: plots, fields, brownfield sites and buildings.
In Greater London, Harrow sits about 10 miles north-west of central London; Wembley and Pinner are its nearest neighbours on our list. Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 95 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
London planning is shaped by both the London Plan and borough plans, with higher densities expected near stations and town centres. Small sites, including garden land, yards and redundant commercial premises close to Underground, Overground, Elizabeth line or national rail stations, are the most common route to new homes in the outer areas.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Some land in Greater London is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.

Development land in Harrow: common questions
Can an agent introduce land in Harrow to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
Which planning rules apply to land in Harrow?
As Harrow is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Harrow assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
Can I keep using the land until the sale?
Usually, yes. Under a subject-to-planning contract or an option, current uses can normally continue until completion.
