Barratt David Wilson Homes, Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon Homes are shirking their obligation to provide retail facilities under the developers agreement for Gilden Park. They have yet to provide on their obligations for Retail Facilities nor Community centre; Allotments or Sports Pitches and pavillion. In selling off this land destined to provide retail. Looks as though they are trying to cut and run and not meet their obligations before the final housing completion at the end of 2023.

These three building companies made the best part of £3 billion profit in 2021, with reports of shoddily built homes on many sites. Lets face it, this development is nothing more than a housing estate in the middle of a field, Harlow Council need to take the strongest possible action to ensure that the residents have services on site ASAP.

Perhaps the council will buy the land as they allowed the three developers to cut and run without building any of the communal facilities within the planning permissions granted. Harlow Council are "urging" the developers to complete the works.....fat chance of that happening now they are running away!!!

I agree with Michael. If the council is serious about developing and taking back ownership this may be a better investment than the Harvey Centre.

We didn't want the development as the infrastructure was not in place to cope. Surprise surprise the delvelopers are trying to get away and duck their contractural obligations. How about the council blocking all futher development applications from these builders until they meet their contractural obligations? Bet they still have land to develop around the town. Why doesn't the council make them put up a very large bond to cover the costs of the development of the community based projects such as health centres, schools, sports pitches etc. that will stop them walking away or at least the Council will then have the money to get the jobs completed. I have seen reports of people complaining about the state of the public areas already at Gilden Way. Get the developers to sort it out otherwise it will be the council picking the bill up for it again.
