About

Takeley ward covers a large rural area in western Uttlesford, centred on the historic village of Takeley itself. The landscape is characterised by agricultural fields, pockets of woodland, and scattered farmsteads. The settlement pattern includes several smaller hamlets like Smiths Green and Molehill Green, creating a dispersed community. The area is bordered by the M11 motorway to the west, which significantly influences local connectivity and land use.

A notable local landmark is the Grade I listed St Mary's Church, with origins in the Norman period. The ward's history is closely linked to the former Stansted Mountfitchet station on the now-defunct Bishop's Stortford to Braintree railway line. Land use is a mix of arable farming and newer developments related to its proximity to London Stansted Airport, which lies just outside the ward's northern boundary, impacting the local economy.
