Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would result in the loss of an open, landscaped area, including trees, which is an attractive, prominent and valuable element in the street scene to the detriment of its character and appearance. The development would thereby conflict with Policies PL6, PL7, PL8 and PL1 of the Harlow Local Development Plan 2020.
  2. The proposal fails to demonstrate a 10% biodiversity net gain as required under Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and fails to comply with Policy PL9 of the Harlow Local Development Plan 2020 and paragraph 180 of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
