Harlow Council's planning committee agreed to put off considering a further planning application for Jeans Yardling in Tye Green Village, until the appeal against the committee's rejection of a previous application has been determined. Local councillor Eleanor Macy says:

"I'm totally against overdevelopment of a conservation area - one of the last remnants of the original Harlow. The paddock has been recorded open green space since the Middle Ages. The footpath could be lost - it's already been made difficult to walk, and the proposed diversion takes people out of their way and puts the path into an area where people could be hidden from view and therefore at risk."
