Planning Specialist Support

Description

Basildon Council is preparing a new Local Plan following the withdrawal of the previous Basildon Borough Revised Publication Local Plan (2014-34). New evidence is therefore required to support the development of the new Local Plan, initially to feed into the draft local plan scheduled for Q3 of 2024, and to ensure that the Local Plan is robust and found sound at Examination. The Examination is scheduled for 2027 in the council's LDS. A suitably qualified and experienced consultant is required by Basildon Council to undertake a comprehensive review of the sport facilities in Basildon Borough. The Review will inform the preparation of the Council's new Local Plan. This brief outlines the Council's expectations of the Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) and Built Facilities Strategy (BFS) and details the requirements of tender proposals.  The provider will also be expected to generate sufficient leads to achieve the contractual targets set out within this service specification, although the Council may also be able to support with some marketing and promotion.
