Chigwell at a glance
Homes
Chigwell is a suburb characterised by large houses, particularly along Manor Road, Hainault Road and the High Road. Chigwell Village, around the High Road, is a conservation area designated in 1969 whose historic core is little altered. By contrast the Limes Farm estate at Grange Hill, including Copperfield, consists largely of flats, maisonettes and terraced houses. Chigwell Row, to the east, is a separate wooded hamlet. Houses on the larger plots can generally be loaded from a private drive; on Limes Farm, items often have to come down from upper floors.
House clearance in ChigwellBuilding work
Building work in Chigwell is largely made up of individual projects on its large suburban houses, typically extensions and refits on roads such as Manor Road and Hainault Road. The Local Plan allocates a handful of sites, including about 65 homes at Chigwell Nurseries on the High Road and roughly 105 specialist homes between Froghall Lane and the railway, and a council regeneration project covers the Limes Farm estate. Chigwell Village conservation area limits change along the High Road. Where a plot has a private drive, a skip can stand off the road without a highway licence.
Skip hire in ChigwellBusinesses
Chigwell has no large commercial centre. Shops and services are grouped at Brook Parade, beside the High Road about 100 metres from Chigwell station, and around Grange Hill station on Manor Road. Hospitality and leisure are significant: the seventeenth-century Ye Olde King's Head coaching inn stands on the High Road, and the area has golf clubs and a leisure club beside the M11. Typical commercial waste is food, glass and packaging from restaurants and clubs, together with fit-out waste when shops and offices are refurbished.
