The Latton Priory development will include places to live, work, learn and socialise, with a range of community facilities, sports and play provision on land around Latton Priory Farm, south of Harlow and west of London Road and the M11. This new community will be planned as a high quality, vibrant and distinctive neighbourhood, which is well integrated with surrounding communities, with investment into infrastructure such as education, healthcare and transport improvements.

Following the SMF consultation and subsequent endorsement, CEG, Hallam Land Management and their technical consultants are preparing an outline planning application for submission to EFDC in the new year.

The outline planning process agrees certain principles and includes maximum parameters such as numbers of homes, the facilities included and maximum building heights, but much of the detail will be agreed by way of later detailed planning applications (known as Reserved Matters). An illustrative framework masterplan, showing how the masterplan for Latton Priory could be developed in line with the principles set out in the SMF, would be included in the application.

The consultation shared this illustrative masterplan and information about the assessments and documents which will be included within this forthcoming outline planning application.
