Your Quality of Life Community Report

Harlow and Gilston was designated as a garden town in January 2017. The coming together of five councils with a common purpose is part of a new chapter for Harlow and its surrounding areas. 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.

We’ve worked with Harlow & Gilston Garden Town to map what local people value and need in their local area through a public digital consultation. The project focused on people’s quality of life in the town and surrounding areas and is part of ongoing efforts to ensure the health and wellbeing of current and future residents is protected and promoted to the highest standard. This report sets out our findings.
