Its station also serves, to its western side, intu Lakeside in the largely retail and distribution-dominated area of West Thurrock. It is located in the Chafford and North Stifford, and South Chafford wards in the unitary authority of Thurrock.[1] Chafford Hundred was built on parts of the historical parishes of Stifford and West Thurrock, Mill Lane being the border of the respective historical parishes.[2] HistoryBuilt on an area of 600 acres, northwest of Grays town centre. Two-thirds of the site was previously used as a chalk quarry, the rest was agricultural land. Approximately 5,600 houses and flats have been built since 1989 on 353 acres of brownfield housing land. These areas have a variety of housing types which includes private sector housing as well as housing associations and retirement homes.[3] Chafford Hundred railway station serves the local area, and was built expressly for the settlement. It opened in 1993, and currently sees a twice hourly service connecting it to London, Grays and Southend.[4] The name is re-used from the historic Hundred of Chafford, which covered a much larger area including parts of present-day Thurrock in Essex and the London Borough of Havering in Greater London[5]. The area has seen large growth since its inception, with many City workers living there due to the relatively easy commute into central London. In 2012, it was reported in the national press, that more than half the flats (in the estate) were repossessed during the early 1990s housing slump, impacting it so significantly that prices fell by half.[6] Housing ranges from one or two bedroom apartments up to five / six bedroom large houses and therefore the area caters for many, although property prices grew rapidly during the late 1990s – The Evening Standard article, "the most coveted address in Britain" by Nick Curtis in 2001 included properties in the new village.[7] This is not due to the architecture of the houses (mostly all very similar starter homes), but because it provides relatively affordable housing with public and recreation areas, as well as generally large private gardens, well connected to many jobs.[8] There are four elected councillors representing Chafford Hundred, these are currently: Cllr Mark Coxshall; Cllr Garry Hague; Cllr Suzanne MacPherson and Cllr Abbie Akinbohun.[9] Although there were initially no facilities, they managed to raise funds to build a youth park which was launched last year.[10] In terms of other facilities, it has one GP surgery,[11] a Church,[12] a gym[13] and 2 main pubs [14][15] SchoolsChafford Hundred currently has four primary schools and two secondary schools.
GeographyThe land is on very gentle slopes (ranging from 18 to 34m AOD) and the area also has included a number of park and recreational areas. The largest area is of special environmental and scientific interest, Chafford Gorges Nature Park; its management was taken over by Essex Wildlife Trust on 9 June 2005, since which it has a visitor centre open to the public.[3][17] References1. ^2010 post-revision map non-metropolitan areas and unitary authorities of England {{webarchive|url=https://www.webcitation.org/6I5t6P5t1?url=http://www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm70/7032/7032_iv.pdf |date=14 July 2013 }} {{Thurrock places}}2. ^http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/essex/vol8/pp57-74 3. ^1 {{cite web |title=Chafford Hundred Station Travel Plan |url=http://www.thurrock.gov.uk/travel/travelplans/pdf/station_chaffordhundred_201208.pdf |publisher=thurrock.gov.uk |accessdate=13 November 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131016021943/http://www.thurrock.gov.uk/travel/travelplans/pdf/station_chaffordhundred_201208.pdf |archivedate=16 October 2013 |df=dmy-all }} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://archive.nr.co.uk/browse%20documents/timetables/working%20timetable%20(wtt)/2%20-%20december%202016%20-%20may%202017/lc/lc01.pdf|title=Network Rail Winter 2016/7 Working Timetable|last=|first=|date=|website=|page=28|accessdate=2015-10-27}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/essex/vol7/pp99-102|title=Chafford hundred: Introduction {{!}} British History Online|website=www.british-history.ac.uk|access-date=2019-01-22}} 6. ^{{cite news |first=Ross |last=Clark |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/propertyadvice/propertymarket/3309808/Who-will-survive-a-crash.html |title=Who will survive a crash? |publisher=telegraph.co.uk |date=11 December 2002 |accessdate=11 November 2012 |location=London}} 7. ^{{cite web |first=Nick |last=Curtis |url=https://www.questia.com/library/1G1-78234477/the-most-coveted-address-in-britain |title=The Most Coveted Address in Britain |publisher=telegraph.co.uk |date=11 December 2002 |accessdate=11 November 2012}} 8. ^{{cite book |first=Joe |last=Moran |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=75XNQmWeGyYC&pg=PT207&lpg=PT207&dq=chafford+hundred+600+acre&source=bl&ots=pu62iNBH3C&sig=YeIzGU3-th4Ya8kUmNlWaYa41QQ&hl=en&sa=X&ei=2cKiUIr1LvSM4gSriIG4BQ&ved=0CDkQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q&f=false |title=Reading the Everyday|publisher=telegraph.co.uk |year=2005 |accessdate=13 November 2012}} 9. ^Thurrock Councillers by Ward 10. ^http://www.theenquirer.co.uk/read.aspx?id=11519{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.chaffordhundredmedicalcentre.co.uk/|title=Chafford Hundred Medical Centre - GP Surgery Website.
