PPS 4 (Draft): Industry, Business and Distribution
Planning Policies
In exercise of its responsibility for planning control in Northern Ireland
the Department assesses development proposals against all planning policies and other material considerations
that are relevant to it.
The planning policies of this Statement must therefore be read together
and in conjunction with the relevant contents of the Department’s development plans and other planning
policy publications, including the Regional Development Strategy. The Department
will also have regard to the contents of published supplementary planning guidance documents.
The following policies set out the main planning considerations that
the Department will take into account in assessing proposals for industrial, business and distribution
development and for proposals affecting such development or land and sites allocated for such uses.
The provisions of these policies will prevail unless there are other overriding policy or material considerations
which outweigh them and justify a contrary decision.
The following policies are covered:
- IBD 1: General Criteria for Industrial, Business and Distribution Development
- IBD 2: Industrial, Business and Distribution Development within Settlements
- IBD 3: Retention of Industrial, Business and Distribution Uses within Settlements
- IBD 4: Development Incompatible with Existing Industrial, Business or Distribution Development
- IBD 5: Financial, Professional and Other Services
- IBD 6: Industrial, Business and Distribution Development in the Countryside
