About

Hockley North & West is a primarily residential area characterised by suburban housing estates and quiet cul-de-sacs. The landscape is gently undulating, with older properties situated on higher ground and newer developments spreading across the lower slopes. Local amenities are centred around main roads, serving the daily needs of the community. The area maintains a distinct separation from the more commercial centre of Hockley village.

A significant feature is the presence of ancient woodland fragments, such as Potash Wood, which border the housing. These wooded areas are remnants of the historic Hockley Woods complex and provide green corridors. The terrain includes small valleys and streams that eventually feed into the River Roach. Rochford District Council manages several of these green spaces for public recreation and wildlife.
