TFL-Approved Shop Fit-Outs in Harrow.
Retail units in stations are a market of their own. The work is approved by TFL's commercial team and the station operator before it starts, most of it happens after the last train, and the materials have to meet the fire and smoke standards for enclosed stations. We are approved to do this work and have fitted out units at London Bridge, Uxbridge and Acton Central stations and Harrow-on-the-Hill bus station.
For an operator taking a unit at a station serving Harrow, we prepare the drawings, materials schedule, method statements and risk assessments the approval needs, build the counters and joinery off site, and install with our own trades in the access windows the station allows.
The opening date in the lease is the fixed point. We plan the programme backwards from it, book the night-time access in advance and hand over with the certificates the operator and TFL require.

Harrow: the houses and the planning rules.
Harrow is Metroland: the streets around Harrow-on-the-Hill, North Harrow and Rayners Lane were built between the wars for commuters on the Metropolitan line, with generous semi-detached houses on plots that suit rear extensions and loft conversions. On the Hill itself, the village around the school is older, with Victorian and Georgian houses inside a conservation area.
It is one of our busiest areas. We have built a rear extension with bi-fold doors and a new kitchen in Rayners Lane, a loft and six-metre rear extension in Harrow on the Hill, refurbished a house in North Harrow, and fitted out cafés in St George's shopping centre and at the bus station.
The Harrow on the Hill Village and Roxeth Hill conservation areas cover the Hill; most of the borough is unrestricted.
London Borough of Harrow
Harrow decides applications. Outside the Hill's conservation areas, most rear extensions and loft conversions fall within permitted development, subject to the usual size limits.
Permitted development
Single-storey rear extensions up to 3 metres, or 6 metres with prior approval, and rear dormers within 50 cubic metres are typical. A lawful development certificate is worth obtaining for resale.
Harrow on the Hill
Within the village conservation area, extensions and roof changes need a planning application and matching materials.
