Description
Strategic Development Opportunity – 6.65 Acres of Undeveloped Land in Roydon, Harlow
Target Property is delighted to bring to market a substantial parcel of undeveloped land extending to approximately 6.65 acres, situated in a key growth location in Roydon, Harlow. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire freehold land that now forms part of the long-term strategic planning vision for the Harlow area.
The land is included in the Local Plan adopted by Epping Forest District Council on 14th March 2023. This adoption marked the final component of the planning framework for the Harlow & Gilston Garden Town, following the adoption of the Harlow Local Plan in December 2020 and the East Herts Local Plan in October 2018. The unified adoption of these plans provides a cohesive development vision for the wider region and significantly enhances the prospects for future development in this location.
Of particular relevance is Strategic Policy SP4.2 within the Epping Forest Local Plan, which allocates land at West Harlow for a major mixed-use development. The policy supports the delivery of approximately 2,100 new homes, along with associated infrastructure including schools, community facilities, open space, and play areas. The subject site falls within the scope of this allocation and therefore represents an exceptional opportunity for developers and investors to engage in a project of significant scale and long-term value.
The land is offered for sale on a chain-free basis. Site visits can be arranged strictly by appointment.
This is a compelling opportunity for forward-thinking developers or land promoters seeking a strategic site with strong planning context and excellent potential for residential-led development within a well-connected and rapidly evolving area.
