Christchurch Borough Council Local Plan

Saved and deleted Local Plan policies

This page provides the text and proposals map of the Borough of Christchurch Local Plan as adopted in March 2001. The council have produced a 'Consolidated Local Plan' which shows the changes that have been made as a result of a Direction from the Secretary of State to delete various policies in September 2007. A copy of the consolidated plan and accompanying information is available.

The version of the Local plan provided on this page should be read in conjunction with the Secretary of State's Schedule of Saved Policies. Policies not listed in this schedule are now deleted.

The Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 allowed local planning authorities to "save" local plan policies for an initial three-year period until was replaced by new policies in local development Frameworks. This initial period expired in September 2007. The Council submitted to the Secretary of State a list of which Local Plan policies it wished to keep beyond September 2007, and which it considered should be deleted.
