Saunders secured outline approval for the redevelopment of the former GSK site in Harlow. The masterplan of the 18ha site provides circa 500,000sq.ft of B8 distribution space in six warehouse buildings, each with dedicated access, servicing and car parking.

The landscape strategy retains and enhances the existing landscaping around the perimeter of the site and introduces new green areas to create a high quality, infrastructure corridor to the centre. The masterplan has also been tested with a series of verified views to ensure it sits comfortably within its surrounding context and presents no impact on the adjacent Grade I listed church. The site wide masterplan was first approved in Dec 2017 with the first Reserved Matters applications for Buildings A,B & C approved in 2018 and construction completed Nov 2019.
