Public consultation on plans for Latton Priory, one of the new neighbourhoods that will make up Harlow & Gilston Garden Town, has begun and will run until January 23 2023.
Located on the southern edge of Harlow but sitting within Epping Forest District Council’s boundary, Latton Priory is allocated for a minimum of 1,050 new homes.

As well as homes the site is set to provide community facilities including:
• New secondary school
• Primary school
• Nursery and pre-school facilities.
Land has also been set aside for employment opportunities for new, high quality jobs within the Garden Town.
The masterplan for Latton Priory features extensive green and blue infrastructure to promote biodiversity and sustainable drainage along with large Sustainable Alternative Natural Green Spaces to improve biodiversity and alleviate mounting pressure on the Epping Forest.
The masterplan has been drafted by the site developers and is currently being consulted on prior to a formal endorsement by EFDC.
Epping Forest District Council’s Cabinet Member for Place and a board member at HGGT, Nigel Bedford said: “Latton Priory is one of three sites within the proposed Harlow & Gilston Garden Town development that fall within the Epping Forest District Council boundary.
“Public comments, views and input will help shape the project as the masterplan framework is finalised, so I would urge local people to have their say before the closing date of January 23.”
