The project aims to extend the town centre into what was formerly an industrial zone

Harlow Council has granted approval for approximately 200 new homes within the emerging Wych Elm development in Harlow.

The approved scheme for 4 Wych Elm forms part of a trio of proposed new blocks designed by Ackroyd Lowrie. Each of these schemes includes a mix of residential apartments alongside ground-floor commercial spaces.

Oliver Lowrie, Practice Director, said: “Harlow town centre is experiencing a significant change in its context, particularly on the northern boundary where Wych Elm is located. This newly approved group of sustainable developments is purposefully designed to present a unified approach for the key corners of Wych Elm and act as a catalyst for future regeneration.”

A new public realm has been designed to enhance connections between the town centre and the nearby Rectory Wood, providing improved accessibility to green space for residents.
