About this application

This is a planning application for a new dwelling at 119 Ladyshot Harlow Essex CM20 3EP. Harlow has handled 847 applications of this type. This one was decided in 60 days, 11 days longer than Harlow's typical decision time. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 252 applications in total for the CM20 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would result in an unsatisfactory environment for the future occupiers in terms of poor layout and inadequate sub-standard living space as well as unclear access to suitable amenity space, for all of the units, to the detriment of their residential amenities and thereby conflicts with Policy PL2 of the Harlow Local Development Plan 2020 and paragraph 130 of the NPPF 2024.
  2. The inadequate level of parking provision and failure to provide parking to the standards required by the Essex Parking Standards 2024 to the detriment of highway and pedestrian safety and would fail to accord with Policies IN2 and IN3 of the Harlow Local Development Plan 2020 an the NPPF 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
