Consultation Response Walk-through Example

On this page we have set out a walk-through of a consolation response using the Commonplace system.
We are not telling you what to say but showing how you navigate the system and the response form.
Please remember that you have to do this for each part of the Local Plan you wish to comment on. You cannot comment on more than one part (or policy) at a time.

In this example we are showing how you can respond to Policy H3, which is a proposed site for development south of Great Burstead. However, the same approach applies to all policies and other aspects of the Local Plan.

Please note that it is the same response form every time, with the same eight questions and layout.

Firstly, go to the Commonplace system by clicking on the link below

basildon-lp-reg19.commonplace.is/

​
You will see the screen to the right.

Scroll down the screen and find the 'tile' that shows Chapter 15: Site Allocations

Click on the tile.

The next screen will allow you to read the Allocation Policies, such as H3 in this example.

When you are ready to comment click on the 'Make your representation here' button. This is a common button throughout the consultation.

After clicking on Next please follow any further instructions at on the next page. You might be asked for your email again.

Please look out for a confirmation email. Do not ignore it as it might require you to validate your submission and supply some personal information. Check spam folders in need.

Repeat the above for all parts of the consultation you wish to respond to but you don't have to do all of it. Concentrate on the areas that are most important to you.
