The Strategic Green Infrastructure in Harlow includes the Green Belt, Green Wedges and Green Fingers which are identified on the Policies Map and will be protected and enhanced.

Other Open Spaces, landscaping, trees and hedgerows which contribute to the Green Infrastructure will also be protected and enhanced.

New Green Infrastructure must be planned into new development and, where possible, linked to existing Green Infrastructure.

The new linear ‘Stort Riverpark’, connecting the Lee Valley Regional Park to Bishop’s Stortford through Harlow, will be delivered by contributions from new development.
