Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Structure Plan (2001)

The Localism Act 2011 provided the Secretary of State with power to make an order to revoke regional strategies. Revocation of the Regional Strategy for the South West came into force on 20 May 2013.

At the same time, with one or two specific exemptions none of which affect Dorset, the Government revoked saved structure plan policies in the South West, including all the saved policies in the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Structure Plan.

The  Dorset Structure Plan Schedule of revoked saved policies is retained for archive and reference purposes.
