Planning Policy Statements - current operation planning policy for Belfast district
Planning Policy Statements set out policies on particular aspects of land-use planning and apply to the whole of Northern Ireland; however, these policies no longer have effect in Belfast and are not a material consideration in determining planning applications.
Much of the current operation planning policy for the Belfast district is set out in a series of region-wide Planning Policy Statements (PPSs). The PPSs set out policies on particular aspects of land-use planning and apply to the whole of Northern Ireland. The SPPS notes that this remains extant policy for the district until the adoption of the Plan Strategy for the whole of the council area. These policies no longer have effect in Belfast and so are not a material consideration in determining planning applications.
