More details
A number of developments in particular are being planned on the GREEN BELT LAND surrounding Harlow.
Latton Priory is just one example.
Building on Latton Priory would destroy Gibberd's original vision of Harlow:

by desecrating the green highland to the south of the town and damaging the eco system of the woodlands.
The NPPF contains specific reference to PROTECTING GREEN BELT LAND in England.
Why is this not being enforced?
