Local Plan Regulation 19 Consultation - Now Closed
23 September 2026
The final public consultation on the Basildon Local Plan has now closed. It is no longer possible to submit any further comments on the emerging Basildon Local Plan. The consultation ran for 6 weeks from 10 August to 22 September 2026.
Well done and thank you to those of you that took part.
It was our last chance to tell the council, but more importantly the Planning Inspector, what we think of the plan before it is submitted to the Government for examination by 31 December 2026.
We anticipate that the examination, to be held in public, will take place next year. Until then we are not likely to see or hear much more about the Local Plan but will provide updates if we do.
In the meantime please keep an eye on planning applications proposing development on the Green Belt. Details below.

The aims of BAG
|
To protect the Green Belt around Billericay and elsewhere in Basildon Borough from loss through excessive and unjustified development.
To prevent the character of our historic towns from being changed forever. To ensure that any development that does take place is sustainable, with adequate infrastructure and prioritises local needs. We support the need for a new Basildon Local Plan and the need for more housing. But it must be of the right number, the right type and in the right places to best help local people obtain a home of their own. We aim to provide information, help and guidance so that local residents can take action on the Local Pan through consultations, and to submit comments on planning applications. At the end of the day it is down to local people to take part and express their views and concerns. Please support us. Please support your local community. |
