Developers are targeting the London Road and Mountnessing Road area of Billericay. And most recently another site in the south west has come into the frame between Laindon Road & Frithwood Lane.
We need your help by submitting objections to the planning applications at the appropriate time. They are all on Green Belt land.
You can find a guide here Planning Application Help.
The map below shows the scale of what’s being proposed through the four planning applications that exist today, with another that is imminent.
We will look at the applications one by one below.

McCarthy & Stone submitted an application in 2021 for a mixed development of a 91 bed retirement home, sheltered accommodation and extra care facility. That planning application was not progressed.
However, we believe that it will probably be reactivated, or new plans submitted. At this stage we need to look out for any new activity. It is not possible to submit objections at this point.

What to say
At a minimum, just say that the location is Green Belt as defined under Council policies and as such it should not be developed.
If you have specific concerns about a site then please try to be accurate based on any local knowledge you may have.
Consider the impact on infrastructure - roads, schools, health facilities etc.
Do you have environmental concerns, whether flora or fauna?
Please do not be overly emotional. Saying ‘build somewhere else’ won’t be taken seriously! Try to be factual with any examples you have to back up your comments and objections. Leave out any politics, whether national or local.
