While we wait for the planning application, WNGAG has been successful in having Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) made in respect of a total of 50 individual trees on the Barn Hall fields, plus the mixed woodland at the end of Jubilee Drive and the triangular woodland area between Clovelly Gardens and Station Avenue.

An Outline Planning Application, Ref. 07/00801/OUT, was submitted to Basildon District Council on 26 June 2007 by Andrew Martin Associates, acting for Gleeson Homes Ltd and Gladedale Group Ltd. For more information, see Development Threat. WNGAG is urging as many people as possible to object to the planning application by writing to Basildon Council before the deadline of 31 August 2007 (extended from the previous 25 July deadline).
