New station for Chelmsford moves big step forward after funding plan is agreed A long awaited station to the east of Chelmsford has moved a significant step forward – a welcome turnaround since January when there were fears that the project could be scrapped over budget concerns. At a meeting of the cabinet on Tuesday, it was agreed that Essex County Council (ECC) can now enter into an official agreement with Homes England to secure the release of just under £218 million from the national Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) – unlocking two major HIF projects in north Essex. In total 14,109 new homes will be supported by the long-awaited railway station for Beaulieu and the Chelmsford North East Bypass.
