Harlow is slightly unusual in that old and new sit alongside one another so closely. Even since the building of the new Town in the 1950's the expansion continued with first Church Langley and now Newhall springing up. Both of these areas break with the "Harlow tradition" of areas of housing centred around small shopping areas, but maintain the theme of plenty of green areas and, in the case of Newhall in particular, a strong architectural/design focus.
Some areas of Newhall are still under construction - the block above is for sale at the moment even though the common parts are still very much a work in progress. Once the current developments "North Chase", "slo" and Be:" are completed, there will be a Phase 2 to be built, which should put into place some of the infrastructure which feels to be lacking at present.
