Braintree at a glance
Homes
Braintree's housing spans several centuries. Bradford Street in Bocking is lined with timber-framed houses inside a conservation area, while Clockhouse Way and Cressing Road hold concrete-block houses designed in 1918 for workers at the town's metal window factory. Later estates such as Marks Farm, off Coggeshall Road, and the 1990s garden village at Great Notley generally have driveways or garages. Older streets near the centre offer little off-street space, so bulky items often have to be carried through the house to the kerb, whereas newer plots usually allow loading straight from the drive.
House clearance in BraintreeBuilding work
New-build activity around Braintree is concentrated at Straits Mill, where about 1,000 homes are permitted between Broad Road and the A131, and at Towerlands Park and the adjoining North West Braintree land off Panfield Lane. In the centre, the Victoria Square scheme on Manor Street replaced the old bus park with flats, a hotel and a health hub. The town's conservation areas contain over 130 listed buildings, the High Street has been fully pedestrianised since 2020, and a restricted parking zone covers Manor Street, Victoria Street and Fairfield Road, so skip positions need agreeing in advance.
Skip hire in BraintreeBusinesses
Shops and cafés are centred on the pedestrianised High Street, Bank Street and the George Yard shopping centre, with markets in Market Square on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Away from the centre, the Braintree Village outlet centre and Braintree Retail Park on Charter Way generate cardboard and packaging in bulk. Trade and manufacturing units are grouped on the Springwood, Park Drive and Broomhills industrial estates, with further business space at Skyline 120 in Great Notley. Vehicle access to the High Street is restricted, so collections from town-centre premises have to work around the pedestrian zone.
