Newhall Harlow, Essex, UK

Newhall is a development that combines the best practice in housing provision, sustainability and landscape design with architecture of a distinctly high quality. Designed for client Bellway Homes in conjunction with landowners Newhall Projects Ltd, the aim was to move away from generic volume housing and create a project that harnesses the value of carefully considered design to build a new neighbourhood.

Phase 2 of the development – designed by Sheppard Robson – has created 239 dwellings, forming a new community positioned to the east of central Harlow in Essex. 

In order to deliver a varied architectural language, Sheppard Robson’s scheme creates 11 different housing types, using a controlled palette of materials – characterised by a range of different style bricks, slates and timbers - that responds to the numerous local design guides.
