Harlow and Gilston Garden Town is a cross boundary, five Council led initiative to deliver Garden Town led growth and regeneration for new and existing communities in and around Harlow. The Garden Town will see the delivery of 16,000 new homes in four new Garden Town neighbourhoods in Water Lane, Latton Priory and East of Harlow with the fourth made up of seven new Garden villages in Gilston. It will also regenerate Harlow’s town centre, with ambitious plans that will bring forward a new arts and cultural quarter alongside a redeveloped Broad Walk area and upgraded bus station.
To achieve these aspirations and those of existing communities for the highest quality development, the Quality Review Panel was set up in 2018, bringing together a wide range of experts to help support the creation of a thriving and sustainable place where people will want to live, work and settle.
The Harlow and Gilston Quality Review Panel is chaired by Peter Maxwell, Former Director of Design at the London Legacy Development Corporation.
