Bottom bracket query

in Workshop
I’m building a trick Boardman Hybrid that’s going to use a Tiagra chainset.
I tried said chainset in the frame using a spare bottom bracket which is model number BB4700 so I bought another one off eBay. Stupidly I didn’t check the model number but it turns out to be a BB52. Apparently it’s for a Deore. Question is will my Tiagra work in it?
Cheers

Thanks.
It seems that an MTB bottom bracket is 7-10mm wider than a road bike bracket.
No dramas cos it was only a tenner.
Edit . Sorry i did not read the above post.
The Specialized Tarmac will use Ultegra with the 4700 BB whereas the Boardman Hybrid is using a Tiagra groupset but I bought a 52 BB by mistake.
I wondered if I could take the plastic sleeve out the equation because it doesn’t really seem to do anything.
Its advisable but not essential.
