Broad Concept Plans

Major allocated sites need a Broad Concept Plan (BCP) to ensure the delivery of key infrastructure

Policy LP7 - Urban Extensions of the Fenland Local Plan requires a Broad Concept Plan (BCP) to be prepared for each of its major allocated sites (either a Strategic Allocation or a Broad Location for Growth). This is to ensure these areas are planned and implemented in a coordinated way, linking to the timely delivery of key infrastructure.

The BCP will form a template that all future planning applications are expected to conform to.

A number of BCPs have been, or are in the process of being prepared. South Wisbech, East Wisbech and East Chatteris have reached an advanced stage.
