IMPORTANT CHANGE; From March 2012, changes to national planning policy replaced the term 'Local Development Framework' (LDF) with the term 'Local Plan'. Any historic references to the LDF in our documentation should be now considered as if they read 'Local Plan'

Local Development Scheme (LDS)

The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires that all Local Planning Authorities publish and maintain a Local Development Scheme (LDS). The LDS's role is to set the timetable for preparing any documents of the Basildon Borough Local Plan. Progress towards meeting the timetable is monitored annually through the Annual Monitoring Report: Planning - Annual Monitoring  

The LDS must include information explaining when it is likely people can expect to get involved in a document's preparation process, including consultation stages and Examination in Public. 

Further details are set out in the Basildon Borough Local Development Scheme 2018 - 2020, which was adopted on 20 July 2018.

Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)

A Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) sets out how and when anyone with an interest in planning in the Borough can have their say on:

  • Applications for planning permission for development (planning applications);
  • Planning appeals (when planning permission is refused and the applicant appeals to the Secretary of State),
  • Planning enforcement; and
  • Local Plans.

The SCI formalises proposals for consulting the public on planning matters, and builds on the wider Planning Services' standard consultation practices.

The Draft SCI - Second Revision was made available for a six week public consultation between October and November 2015. Following 345 comments from 69 consultees, changes were made to the Draft SCI, as appropriate, to form the Basildon Borough Statement of Community Involvement Second Revision.

The revision follows changes to primary and secondary legislation and to build on the Council's wider consultation practices that will apply when delivering the Development Control, Enforcement and Planning Policy aspects of its Local Planning Authority functions.

At Full Council - 7 July 2016Basildon Borough Council formally adopted the Statement of Community Involvement Second Revision, following endorsement by Cabinet in June 2016.
