Local Plan update - 20 December 2022

Basildon Council held a Call for Sites 2022 which ran from Wednesday 19 October to Wednesday 14 December 2022. The Call for Sites 2022 has now closed and submissions received during this period will now be assessed for the annual Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) 2022 and Brownfield Land Register (BLR) 2022. This work is expected to be completed in early 2023 and will feed into the evidence base for the new local plan. Submission for the annual HELAA/BLR 2023 can now be made. For more information, visit HELAA - Submit a New Site - Basildon.

The Regulation 18 Issues and Options consultation is expected to take place from June 2023 for a period of 6 weeks.

The Council will consider entering into a Planning Performance Agreement (PPA) with land promoters wishing to discuss future options for their site in the context of the progression of the local plan. Further details of PPA's are available here: Planning Services - Basildon
