Transport for London has announced Catalyst Housing Ltd as its preferred bidder to deliver around 450 new homes in Harrow.

The projects, which boast 100 per cent affordability targets, will make use of space at Canons Park, Stanmore and Rayners Lane underground stations.

Catalyst has been chosen to bring the sites forward using the Greater London Authority’s London Development Panel 2 (LDP2).

LDP2 replaces the first London Development Panel (LDP1) which expired in 2017.

The first stage for Catalyst will be to begin detailed design and crucially consult the local community before a planning application is submitted in 2019/20.

As well as new homes, plans will also improve the area with new trees and better infrastructure for cyclist and pedestrians.

Councillor Keith Ferry, deputy leader of Harrow Council, said: “Our community is crying out for affordable homes for Harrow people – so we are delighted to welcome TfL's plans to build a better Harrow.

"Our borough was born out of the need for new homes for hardworking people near railway links – and we are pleased to see that tradition continue today.”

TfL has big plans for housing in London which will see it transform over 300 acres of land into 10,000 homes across London.

Since May 2016 50 per cent of its homes have been affordable.
