Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) draft charging schedule

Our new draft Local Plan for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole sets out a strategy for how much, where and what type of development will take place across the BCP area up to 2039. It will provide planning policies and site allocations to guide change and new development proposals.
