Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether the forthcoming review of the implementation of the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 will consider whether responsibility for regionally significant and called-in planning applications should be transferred from her Department to an independent body, similar to An Bord Pleanála in the Republic of Ireland.

Answer:

I am currently considering the terms of the review of the implementation of the Act, which I intend to take to the Committee for Infrastructure shortly.
