We still await news on the emerging Basildon Local Plan since the local elections took place in May.
There was no update at the Cabinet meeting on 22 June and the next meeting is on the 23 July. It is that forum where we expect to get new information.
As we have reported before, the Local Plan is now running late to the published timetable by at least three month so we should expect a new schedule to be a priority setting out when the next steps will take place, very specifically the Regulation 19 consolation.
Alongside the Local Plan there are many large scale Green Belt planning applications in the system (click here for details) that have yet to get to the planning committee for a decision but these will come forward very soon. The first meeting is 8 July so we should find out very soon!
We will provide more news as soon as we have it.

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. |
