31 Harrow entries on the national register: is your road in one?
On the national register, Harrow has 31 conservation-area entries (our analysis of MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area datasets, retrieved 19 October 2026).

The drawing standard
GOV.UK planning practice guidance on making an application says drawings must be drawn to an identified scale with north shown, and that a location plan should typically be 1:1250 or 1:2500.
Plans made from a survey meet the first of those tests from the outset.
