Overview

The Local Plan provides a framework of policies and site allocations to guide future development. This will help us meet identified needs for new homes, jobs, infrastructure and other supporting services within the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area; while both respecting and protecting the local areas' best features including the coast, internationally designated environments, Green Belt and areas at present and future risk of flooding.

The BCP Local Plan will replace the current Local Plans adopted by the three preceding councils.

Consultation on draft BCP Local Plan

We are consulting on the draft BCP Local Plan from 20 March to 1pm on 3 May 2024.

The draft Local Plan provides the strategy for growth over the next 15 years and includes planning policies against which future development will be assessed.
