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.
