2008 Call for Sites - Schedule of Sites published
In 2008, as part of the process of preparing the Local Development Framework (LDF - which will guide development within the District over the next 15 years), Basildon Council conducted a Call for Sites exercise which invited landowners and developers to propose land they felt was suitable for future development.
As a result 130 sites, which might possibly be suitable for future development, have been proposed.
About 280 hectares (692 acres) of land has been proposed for development.
It is important to understand that there is absolutely no guarantee at all, that any of these proposed sites will be approved for development in the finalised Local Development Framework (LDF)
Each of the proposed sites will be assessed and subjected to environmental screening, after which only the most appropriate and realistic sites will be selected for possible inclusion in the LDF.
The assessment process is carried out openly and independently, regardless of who owns the land or of Basildon Council's role as a planning decision maker.
Future opportunities for public consultation
Any of the proposed sites which after assessment go on to be selected by Basildon Council as a future location for development to be included in the final LDF, will be the subject of an open public consultation, giving local residents the opportunity to support or object to proposed development.
Examining the Schedule of Submissions and accompanying maps
We recommend looking the Schedule of Submissions first. It sets out the sites by Site Reference Number (e.g. CFS 001) and Address, etc. The Map Reference column indicates which map(s) you must look at to see the site's location and boundary.
Sites displayed on the maps are labelled with a unique Site Reference Number. In most cases this is either within or next to the site itself.
Most sites are drawn as a blue-dashed line around their extent.
However, due to the number and complexity of some submissions in parts of the District, it has been necessary to use other line styles and colours to distinguish each site submission. These have been cross-referenced individually in the legend of each map.
There could be some cases however which due to the size of the sites and map scale have caused problems with site labelling. In these cases, the sites have been identified in different line styles or patterns and displayed separately in the legend.
Please be aware that the following documents only include submissions from the 2008 Call for Sites exercise. To get the complete details of all sites which have been proposed as suitable for development over the last 2 years you must also look at 2007 Call for Sites.
The following downloadable documents include:
