Harrow Council in February approved plans to build 149 new homes at the site of the old management school at Wealdstone South, called Byron Quarter, which until 2023 was used in the leg to park special needs. The site owned by the Council, next to an leisure center, has been the subject of the continuous tip of the fly in recent years.
The Council said to the local democracy reports (LDRS) that the site was attacked by a criminal operation that “threatened personnel with violence” and damaged security measures to throw garbage illegally.
The “main environmental concern” has now been cleared in a joint cleaning work between demolition contractors Goody Demolition and Waste Management Company Powerday that tok four weeks to complete.
Powerday said that industrial and dangerous waste had created “significant challenges for the community and local authority.”

Last month, the labor opposition accused the administration of not ensuring the site in the last 18 months, which results in costs in the region of £ 348,000, with the total cost that is still finally necessary, it is necessary to eliminate the “absolute landfill”, but the leadership.
The Powerday CEO, Edward Crossan, said: “We are proud to be part of this significant operation, helping to address one of the most challenging turning sites in the city. Our team worked in close collaboration with the demolition of Goody and local authorities Tureckatclic, Gorecleds to guarantee the crossing, Gorecleds to guarantee the minimization of the environmental impact.”

The fly tip has long been an increasing problem in London, with a 6 percent increase from 2023 to 2024 1.15 million tons of value nationwide to Powerday. With the increase in the landfill tax that increases from £ 103.70 to £ 126.15 per ton on April 1 of this year, the company suspects that the problem probably worsens.
Goody’s demolition contract manager Rob Gregory added: “This was a great task, and Powerday collaboration has been fundamental in the effective authorization of this challenge site. When working together, we have a successful tachuela of an important hope of seeing the development that will now take place in this empty country.”

Harrow Council said that the security on the site has “reinforced” as the works advance before the redevelopment. A spokesman said: “We are happy that the site has been authorized and now we can work to offer genuinely affordable high quality family homes for Harrow residents, including new property owned owned.”
The 149 houses in Byron Quarter will be divided between a six -story apartments block, which comprise 78 of the properties, with the 71 removals composed of houses of houses on terraces of two and three rooms.
Or the total number of new houses, 27 percent will be affordable, well below the target of the Council or 40 percent. The Harrow Council officials claim that this is the gain is “lower than expected” for a scheme of the scale.
