The latest planning application for Fairfield, in Tye Green Village, has been rejected by Harlow Council's planning committee.

The application, for two two-storey properties in the garden of Fairfield, was actually taller than the previous application that had been thrown out by councillors on the grounds of its impact on the local area. Only the meeting's chairman, Cllr Mike Garnett, voted in favour, with all other councillors present voting against.

At the same meeting, the Planning Committee voted unanimously to grant permission for the demolition of Meadow Court, between Lodge Hall and Spruce Hill, and its replacement with a new development of flats.
