The Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan 2015 is a development plan being prepared under the provisions of Part III of The Planning (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 by the Planning Service, an Agency within the Department of the Environment. The Department has decided to cause a Public Local Inquiry to be held by the Planning Appeals Commission for the purpose of considering objections to the Draft Plan including Plan Amendment No.1 to the Draft Plan.

Public Display of Objections

Following publication of Plan Amendment No.1 to the Draft Plan on 14 February 2006, the Department invited representations over an 8-week period ending on 11 April 2006.

The Planning (Development Plans) Regulations (NI) 1991, as amended, requires the Department to make copies of all objections to a development plan available for inspection prior to the Public Inquiry. Copies of all representations in respect of Plan Amendment No.1 to the Draft Plan, received during the 8 week period, including objections, may be inspected from 20 June 2006 to 15 August 2006 at the address below.

Anyone making a representation about an objection may also ask to be notified of the Department’s decision in writing at such address as they specify. It should also be noted that such written representations will be available for public inspection and may be referred to at the Public Inquiry.

Representations about letters of support for Plan Amendment No.1 to the Draft Plan are not being invited and cannot be considered at the Public Inquiry.
