To contribute to the Council’s corporate vision, specifically helping to create dynamic places, investing in the homes our communities need, revitalising and re-inventing our high streets and local centres in line with the vision set out in the Big Plan.

FuturePlaces was formed to ensure BCP Council has the capacity, expertise, and resources to drive investment in regeneration and unlock value from major Council owned sites; it will also enable BCP Council to ensure that the delivery of new homes and regenerative development is maximised in accordance with existing programmes, to secure BCP’s outstanding place potential through high quality place making and create well designed, local neighbourhoods.

The Annual Review is a required element of the approved governance framework between the council and BCP FuturePlaces Ltd.
