A PLANNING application has been submitted for none houses near Parndon Mill.

The application relates to approximately 0.48 hectares of land off Parndon Mill Lane. The site is currently used for storage of approximately 120 caravans. Access to the site is through a 200m long private road taken from Parndon Mill Lane. There are five dwellinghouses along this private road, including a detached dwelling under construction following a planning permission granted in 2016 (HW/FUL/16/00471).

Summary of Representations Received

Five representations, including one from the St Mary’s Church, were received either supporting or having no objections to the proposed development. They have raised the following observations:

 Concerns on highway and pedestrian safety on Parndon Mill Lane

 Improved pedestrian access on Parndon Mill Lane and Elisabeth Way should be
provided

 Ensure no parking near the Church and double yellow line should be introduced

 Measures should be in place to ensure the boundary wall of the Church would not be
damaged

 Works should include junction improvement, additional street lights and introducing
speed limits

 The proposal would improve the appearance of the site

 Compared to the existing caravan storage use, the proposed residential use would
have less impact to the traffic condition of Parndon Mill Lane

The application will be heard at the next Harlow Council planning meeting on Wednesday August 19th at 7.30pm on their YouTube channel
