Local plan news and updates

We submitted the draft BCP Local Plan and the CIL draft charging schedule to the Secretary of State on 27 June 2024 for examination. The examination is expected to take around 12 months. If approved by the Inspectors, the BCP Local Plan and CIL draft charging schedule will replace the current Local Plans and charging schedules  we expect around mid-2025.
