Redevelopment in the Green Belt - Basildon, Essex

ADP secured planning consent for the demolition of the existing dwelling and buildings and the erection of five new homes in the Green Belt near Wickford, Essex (Basildon Borough).

The key planning and design challenges included:

• Location outside of a settlement boundary;

• Development within the Green Belt,

• Increased residential development on site, and

• Increased vehicular movement.

Our team developed an integrated planning and design strategy that was informed by the existing context. The principles included:

• Maximisation of development;

• Increased openness across the site;

• Landscaping and ecological enhancements;

• Context-led design.

Our robust approach to planning and design led to a successful planning application and enhancement of the site’s setting.
