About Springfield
Springfield is a suburb of Chelmsford, Essex, located to the north-east of the city centre. Once a separate village, it has been gradually integrated into Chelmsford's urban landscape. As a civil parish, Springfield now encompasses modern housing developments, excluding the area of the original village, which was absorbed into the municipal borough in 1907. This evolving suburban environment may be of interest to those researching planning applications in the region. The settlement has a population of approximately 21,389 (2021 estimate). It sits within the Chelmsford district.
Springfield covers an area of approximately 3.2 km². The surrounding landscape and character of the area play an important role in how planning applications are assessed by the local authority.
Property prices in Springfield show an average sale price of £413,508, based on 50 recent transactions recorded by HM Land Registry. There are currently no active flood warnings for the Springfield area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (May 2026). This makes Springfield a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
