About

Chelmer Village and Beaulieu Park form a modern residential ward on the western side of Chelmsford. The area is characterised by extensive housing developments from the late 20th and early 21st centuries, featuring a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. It is a primarily residential zone with local shopping parades catering to daily needs, set within a layout that includes numerous cul-de-sacs and green spaces. The area is functionally connected to the city centre and railway station via the Parkway dual carriageway.

A defining characteristic is the presence of the large, man-made Chelmer Village lake, which serves as a central landscape feature surrounded by footpaths. The area includes the grounds of the former Beaulieu Palace, with some historical walls incorporated into the newer parkland. Sports facilities, including a sailing club on the river Chelmer, are key local amenities. The ward's structure is largely defined by its creation as planned communities, with pedestrian pathways separating housing from main road networks.
