YOUR CHANCE TO COMMENT ON PLANS FOR A New NEIGHBOURHOOD IN BILLERICAY

Welcome to this public consultation website.

It provides information about the emerging plans for a new neighbourhood that focusses on connectivity, sustainability and well-being. You can view these plans and provide feedback to the team.

Obsidian Strategic is delighted to introduce plans to deliver a brand-new neighbourhood on Land East of Southend Road, Billericay.

This new neighbourhood will form a natural extension in this location, providing up to 1,100 new homes and facilities. This isn’t just housing. It’s a neighbourhood that will be a genuinely vibrant community that focusses on connectivity, sustainability and well-being.

The neighbourhood will include a local centre, a community park with play areas, a public orchard, and allotments – creating spaces for leisure, nature, and everyday convenience. New green links will connect the neighbourhood to the local amenities at Barleylands Farm, enhancing access and encouraging active travel.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Basildon Council has identified this site for residential use in the wider H1 allocation, according to the Regulation 18 draft Local Plan.

  • This draft allocation forms the basis of a policy justification to deliver a new neighbourhood in this location in addition to national planning policy.

  • The site is adjacent to an existing community, a primary school, a solar farm and a business park. As such, the location is ideal to support a new neighbourhood and is ideally placed to support Basildon’s ambitious growth aspirations.

On this website, you will be able to find out more about Obsidian Strategic, their emerging proposal and how you can take part in the public consultation.

Obsidian Strategic will consider all community feedback and finalise the proposal accordingly before submitting an outline planning application to Basildon Council this autumn.
