Planning
Legislation
Specific
local legislation to control the development of land in Northern Ireland
was first introduced in the early 1930’s and for forty years local
government administered the planning system.
In
1972 local government was reorganised and responsibility for planning
control was vested in the Ministry of Development under the Planning (NI)
Order 1972.
Responsibility
for planning control was subsequently transferred to the Department of the
Environment, which is now responsible under the Planning (Northern
Ireland) Order 1991 for planning matters.
