New BCP Council Local Planning Update
Find out about the Bournemouth Local Plan Review and local planning in the new BCP Council
Bournemouth Borough Council will not be publishing any further consultations for the Bournemouth Local Plan review prior to Local Government Reorganisation on the 1st April 2019. As part of setting up the BCP Council, the government have approved consequential orders that require a new BCP wide local plan to be adopted by 2024. It will, therefore, be for the new BCP Council to agree a Local Development Scheme (required by planning legislation) which will be a project plan setting out the suite of documents required for a new BCP Local Plan and timings for preparation. Once agreed the Local Development Scheme will make the future direction of Local Plan production in the Council much clearer.
The current Local Plan
The existing statutory Local Plan for Bournemouth is currently made up of:
