Northern Ireland Planning Service

Northern Area Plan 2016
Strategic Plan Framework: Housing Provision

The Plan provides for 13,450 units to be built over the Plan period from 31st December 1998 to 31st December 2016. However, not all of this allocation is presently available. At any moment in time, there are a number of planning permissions that have been completed, are under construction, or are not started. This affects the balance to be provided in the Plan period. The situation regarding housing provision in July 2004 is set out below:
