About us

Help Us Challenge Chelmsford City Council

Who are we?

We are a coalition of Councillors from Boreham, Sandon, Danbury and Little Baddow Parish Councils and concerned residents who refuse to sit idly by while our rural haven is transformed into an urban sprawl. Our diverse group is united by a shared commitment to preserving our region’s natural beauty, tranquility, and heritage for future generations.

Our Mission

Our mission is clear: to challenge the shortsightedness of the Chelmsford City Council and demand responsible, sustainable development that respects the needs and wishes of residents. We believe that unchecked expansion at Hammonds Farm will place an intolerable burden on our infrastructure, exacerbate traffic congestion, and irreparably damage our environment.

The third article in our series: The Truth Behind the Plans - Traffic Chaos Incoming.

Chelmsford City Council’s proposal to allocate Hammonds Farm as a Strategic Growth Site for 3,000 homes and 2 major business parks may look neat in a spreadsheet — but on the ground, it spells transport chaos.

This article lays out why the assumptions underpinning the Local Plan’s transport strategy are deeply flawed, and why the burden will fall squarely on surrounding communities like Sandon, Little Baddow, Danbury, and Boreham.

The second article in our series: The Truth Behind the Plans -🛑 LANDSCAPE UNDER THREAT!

Chelmsford City Council’s draft Local Plan proposes to allocate Hammonds Farm for major development, with 3,000 homes and a large-scale business park. While the site has been promoted as a ‘garden community’, the reality is far less idyllic — and nowhere will feel the effects more deeply than the communities of Sandon, Little Baddow, Danbury, Boreham and the Chelmer Valley.
