Impact of Department for Infrastructure Planning Guidance on Rural Communities

Impact of Department for Infrastructure Planning Guidance on Rural Communities
That this Assembly acknowledges that the planning system must be sustainable while also working for our rural communities; notes with concern the recent publication by the Department for Infrastructure of Planning Advice Note: Implementation of Strategic Planning Policy on Development in the Countryside; further notes the concerns expressed by the Ulster Farmers' Union regarding the new planning guidance; recognises that the new guidance could have a significant negative impact for many people hoping to live in the countryside; and calls on the Minister for Infrastructure to withdraw, immediately, the Planning Advice Note and to engage meaningfully with local councils regarding the very real concerns of people in our rural communities.
