Church Langley is part of Harlow, Essex, England.Church Langley was built from 1992 and was originally named Brenthall Park, consisting of three developers in the Brenthall Park partnership who then sold on some parts to other developers. It was built over thirteen years by sixteen different home builders. The area prior to development was within the Epping district, an area cut off from Epping Forest District Council by the M11 and Harlow Common. The original marketing compared Church Langley to a village, and this is still referred to in news reports and in social media.Harlow Council granted permission for 3500 luxury homes to be built between the A414 and M11 north of Potter Street on the condition that the developers incorporate community facilities. Church Langley was named after two ancient footpaths. Church Langley was built on farmland owned by local farmers William and Jon Moen. They were unhappy with the result, having left the design to the relevant developers, calling it "retro-style architecture" with poor road planning. They resolved to exercise firmer control over the Newhall development, also built on their land using the money raised from the Church Langley development.A concrete water tower is situated to the east of Church Langley and can be clearly seen from the adjacent M11 motorway. This was built in 1993–1994.Community facilities in Church Langley include a Tesco store and petrol station (with shoe repair and hand car wash), pharmacy, doctor, dentist, children's development centre, community hall (Church Langley Community Centre), pub (the Potters Arms), ecumenical church (Church Langley Church - Church of England, Baptist, URC and Methodist), nursery (Kiddi Caru) and two primary schools (Church Langley Community Primary School and Henry Moore Primary School).

Newhall is a new housing estate within Harlow, Essex, England. In 2009, it was being built on land originally forming part of Soper Farm. A landowner led development, its planners are Roger Evans Associates, an architectural practice based in Oxford. The design of the new neighbourhood is different from the rest of the first generation New Town, featuring striking contemporary architecture. The plan for Newhall precedes government set housing density levels, current sustainability standards and introduced design codes at a time when they were not common.Influenced by the design principles implemented by Harlow’s masterplanner, Sir Frederick Gibberd. Newhall will eventually be another neighbourhood within Harlow with community facilities – a primary school, doctor’s surgery and retail units at it heart, serving some 6,000 residents. Extensive cycle tracks and an easily negotiated street pattern should encourage residents out of their cars to access the neighbourhood amenities. All homes will be no further than 65 yards from a ‘green space’; some 40 per cent of the entire area has been set aside for parks and a wildlife reserve.To maintain the overall coherence of the scheme, the landowners and planners have retained the right to sign off the design of individual schemes as they come forward for planning approval. Although design codes exist, architects are still able to exert a lot of freedom of expression and it this that sets Newhall apart from many other new housing schemes.By 2009, the first phase of 500 homes had been largely completed. The second phase of 2,300 was due to get underway shortly afterwards.

Old Harlow is the old town area of Harlow, in Essex, England. It was the historical town centre prior to Harlow being designated a new town in 1947 during the new towns in the United Kingdom movement. Old Harlow is situated in the north-east area of the town and is the oldest area of the town. Old Harlow pre-dates the first written record in the Domesday Book of 1086, so it is unknown when the town first came into existence. Originally Old Harlow was going to be the central area of Harlow New Town, but due to the amount of demolition works and the loss of agricultural land it was decided to build Harlow New Town to the west of Old Harlow. As the new town was being built, Old Harlow seemed to be forgotten and fell behind in its development. It was not until 1977 that Old Harlow was improved with the building of a health service and a senior citizens day centre. Old Harlow still remains village-like with two Grade I listed buildings and many Grade II listed buildings. Old Harlow ward has a total population of 5,845 and comprises 2,498 homes.
