How schemes in Basildon get decided.
Two councils involved
Basildon Council decides the planning application, but Essex County Council is the highway authority and gives the highways response. We deal with both, so the evidence suits the county’s standards as well as the local plan.
What shapes schemes in Basildon
A new town between the A127 and A13, with distributor roads and industrial estates along the A127. The roads were planned around the car. Officers now want new schemes to connect to the walking, cycling and bus network, not just the main roads.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A127, A13, A130 and A176. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application.
