Strategic
Objectives
The Planning Strategy is based upon an
analysis of the key issues and opportunities relevant to rural
Northern Ireland. It considers the complex inter-relationships
between town and country and seeks to present a clear vision of the
future development of the rural area.
There is a variety of interests and expectations regarding future
development in Northern Ireland among those who live or work on or
own land; those who visit for recreation or leisure; and those who
value and seek to conserve natural and cultural attributes. All have
opinions, interests and concerns. The Strategy seeks to reconcile
the diverse and often conflicting aspirations of these groups and
identify solutions which are in the wider public interest.
Strategic Objectives:
- to protect and enhance the natural and
man-made environment;
- to meet the future development needs of the rural community;
- to facilitate regeneration of the rural economy;
- to accommodate change, while maintaining the character of the
countryside;
- to revitalise rural towns and villages in order to make them more
attractive places in which to live and work; and
- to promote a high quality of design new development.
