The Council will not normally permit the development of new facilities for noisy and disturbing sports such as motor sports, motorised water sports or shooting, where they have an unacceptable impact on the surrounding area.

Proposals will be judged on their merits and the Council will have regard to their impact on residential amenity, the quiet enjoyment of the countryside, the nature conservation value of the area, the degree to which proposals would increase traffic on local roads and the effects of any traffic increase.

Please visit Basildon’s District Local Plan for further information.
