Strategic Employment Locations removal
The Strategic Employment Locations (SELs) concept has been removed from planning guidance as it no longer matches current economic challenges facing Northern Ireland.
The DRD, in its first 5-year review of the RDS2, adjusted some of the Objectives, Strategic Planning Guidelines (SPGs) and the Supporting Actions of the SPGs in the Strategy, including some that are relevant to economic development. In particular, the Strategic Employment Locations (SELs) concept in SPG – ECON 4 is removed together with the reference to SELs in ECON 2.1, as it is considered that the concept no longer matches the challenges facing the Northern Ireland economy.
