Ministerial Statement: Rural Planning Policy and PPS 14
Annex
The policy provisions of the re-issued Draft PPS 14 will take precedence over the following provisions of A Planning Strategy for Rural Northern Ireland (PSRNI):
- Policy SP 5 Dispersed Rural Communities
- Policy SP 6 Houses in the Open Countryside
- Policy SP 7 Economic Development in so far as it relates to the countryside
- Policy SP 8 Agricultural Diversification
- Policy SP 9 Resources in so far as it relates to agricultural land
- Policy SP 12 Rural Landscapes
- Policy SP 13 The Coast in so far as it relates to Green Belts and Countryside Policy Areas
- Policy SP 16 Environmental Protection
- Policy SP 19 Rural Design
- Policy HOU 7 Housing In Dispersed Communities
- Policy HOU 8 Houses in the Countryside
- Policy HOU 9 Farmworkers Houses
- Policy HOU 10 Retirement from Farming
- Policy HOU 11 Houses for Other Business Enterprises
- Policy HOU 12 Personal and Domestic Circumstances
- Policy HOU 13 Replacement Dwellings
- Policy HOU 15 Residential Caravans and Mobile Homes
- Policy AG 1 Agricultural Land Quality
- Policy AG 2 Agricultural and Forestry Development
- Policy AG 3 Agricultural Diversification
- Policy AG 4 Community Woodlands
- Policy PSU 9 Septic Tanks
- Policy DES 1 Countryside Assessments in so far as it relates to Green Belts and Countryside Policy Areas
- Policy DES 3 The Settings of Towns and Villages
- Policy DES 5 Buildings in the Countryside
- Policy DES 6 Rural Character
- Policy DES 7 Ribbon Development and Infill
- Policy DES 8 Renovations and Extensions
- Policy GB/CPA 1 Designation of Green Belts and Countryside Policy Areas
- Policy GB/CPA 2 Non-Residential Uses
- Policy GB/CPA 3 Dwelling Houses
- Policy GB/CPA 4 Redundant Buildings
As a consequence the policy provisions of the re-issued Draft PPS 14 will also take precedence over the following designations contained in existing statutory and published draft development plans:
- Dispersed Rural Communities;
- Green Belts; and
- Countryside Policy Areas (CPA) with the following exceptions:
- The Islands CPA as identified in Fermanagh Area Plan 2007
- The Undeveloped Coast CPA as identified in Larne Area Plan 2010; and
- The Mournes Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty CPA Zone A as identified in Newry and Mourne Rural Area Subject Plan 1986-1999.
These three areas will, as an interim measure, change in title to Special Countryside Areas.
There will be a number of policies remaining in the PSRNI, as well as a number of Planning Policy Statements that distinguish between development in Green Belts/CPAs and non-policy areas. In such cases the provisions for Green Belt/CPA will, as an interim measure, apply to all proposals until such times as that policy is superseded.
