In brief
Councillor Marilyn Ashton moved a motion opposing the draft London Plan, stating it would weaken Green Belt protections and increase Harrow's housing target. She clarified support for development on the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital site was due to "very special circumstances." The councillor also stated that the Article 4 Direction had had a "tremendous effect on the borough" and was an "excellent idea." She proposed refusal of a Flambard Road development on the grounds that it would appear overbearing and out of character. Councillor Ashton was appointed Deputy Leader of the Council and is Portfolio Holder for Planning & Regeneration.
