Plan Strategy replaces regional operational policies
Once adopted, the Plan Strategy will replace regional operational policies currently in the Strategic Planning Policy Statement. In any conflict between legacy plans and the Council's Plan Strategy, the Plan Strategy takes precedence.
Once the Plan Strategy is adopted it will replace the regional operational policies that are currently retained by the Strategic Planning Policy Statement (comprised of the existing suite of Planning Policy Statements and the remaining extant provisions of the Planning Strategy for Rural Northern Ireland). If there is any conflict between a policy contained in a legacy Plan and the Council's Plan Strategy, the matter must be resolved in favour of the Council's Plan Strategy.
