Local Plan update - 6 October 2022

The Local Development Scheme (LDS) was approved by Cabinet on 22 September 2022 and has been referred to Full Council for adoption. The LDS will be considered at Full Council on 17 November 2022.

The 'Call for Sites' has also been approved by Cabinet. The Call for Sites will be publicised to enable interested parties to come forward with sites they are interested in developing. New sites can still be submitted to the Council at any time for an annual review through the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) process. Existing sites do not need to be resubmitted unless the boundary or land ownership/agent information has changed. For more information, visit HELAA - Submit a New Site - Basildon.
