East Hertfordshire, Epping Forest and Harlow District Councils are working together with Hertfordshire and Essex County Councils to ensure plans for the Garden Town provide a fantastic quality of life for existing and future residents.
In total, 16,000 new homes will be delivered by 2033, with a further 7,000 planned for the Gilston area to be built from 2033 onwards.
The programme is being delivered by the Joint Committee and the Delivery Team who support them. Find out more about the Joint Committee here.
