Upminster at a glance
Homes
Upminster is divided by the railway. To the north, the garden suburb begun in 1906 on the Upminster Hall estate was planned with houses on half-acre plots, along roads named 'Gardens'. South of the line are the shops and smaller houses, including the early streets of Gaynes, Champion and Branfill Roads and the later New Place estate. Cranham, to the east, was built up from the 1930s and had 615 council houses by 1971. Many homes have a drive and side access, so bulky items and garden waste can often be loaded without passing through the house.
House clearance in UpminsterBuilding work
Building work here is largely domestic: loft conversions, side and rear extensions, and remodelling of the larger houses north of the station. Corbets Tey Conservation Area, designated in 1990, covers one of the three medieval settlements that formed Upminster. Cranham Conservation Area has an Article 4 Direction, so gates, walls and fences there need planning permission. Station Road, St Mary's Lane and Corbets Tey Road form the shopping area, so a skip is better placed on a drive than on those roads. The A127 is a red route, and the M25 is about 1.5 miles east.

Shops run along Station Road, St Mary's Lane and Corbets Tey Road, mostly in small units, with a department store, a furniture store and three supermarkets as the larger premises. The shopping area lies south of the railway, with housing to the north and again further south. Cranham has short parades, the main one on Front Lane. Commercial waste is that of a district centre: cardboard and packaging from retail, food and glass from cafes and restaurants, and furniture or fittings at refits. The London Plan does not treat Upminster as a significant office location.
