Plans Submitted for Mixed-Use Development in Harlow
Our design for a new, mixed-use development at 10 Wych Elm, Harlow has been submitted for planning.
Part of the wider masterplan we’re developing for the extension of Harlow town centre, the proposal for 10 Wych Elm comprises a 10 storey building including 57 high quality residential units and a ground floor commercial space overlooking a new public realm.
Key features from our design are:
New landscaping and an art garden at ground floor
A characterful material palette of dark and light grey brick, aluminium railings, anthracite surrounds and stone panelling
Communal gardens at ground level and on rooftops, making attractive environments for residents as well as a tangible connection with the green corridor towards Rectory Wood
A ground level terrace features a children’s soft play area whilst rooftops have casual seating to dine or relax
The proposed building is also sustainably designed and not only features a high-quality thermal envelope to encourage natural ventilation but several renewable technologies including air source heat pumps, low water usage fittings, and PV panels. A decision is anticipated in June.
