The Bournemouth District Wide Local Plan was adopted on 26th February 2002 and sets out planning policy up to 2011.

The Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 introduced fundamental changes to the Development Plan system in England, in particular the replacement of Local Plans with new Local Development Frameworks.
As part of this transition, local planning authorities were allowed to ‘save’ existing adopted local plan policies for a period of three years from the commencement date of the Act (September 2004), thereby allowing policies to remain in force up to September 2007.
The Act recognised that it might be necessary to save policies beyond three years, and introduced a procedure whereby local planning authorities could make a request for a Direction from the Secretary of State to save policies beyond September 2007, or to delete policies even where they had not been formally replaced by those in the Local Development Framework. The Government requested that all authorities should submit a list of those policies it wishes to save or to delete to the Government regional offices by 1 April 2007.
The Council reviewed all of the Policies of the Bournemouth District Wide Local Plan 2002, and submitted a formal request to the Secretary of State to save or delete policies after September 2007.
A copy of the Secretary of State’s decision and schedule of policies for saving can be viewed below.
