Planning Reform

Planning as we know it is changing. On 1 April 2015, the DOE will transfer responsibility for the majority of planning functions to local government. The Planning Act (N.I.) 2011 comes into operation with a completely different set of rules and regulations for planning throughout N.I. The responsibility for planning will be shared between the new councils and the DOE.

DOE will continue to process all planning applications up to 31 March 2015 and the final decision to grant or refuse planning permission will be the responsibility of the Department. On 1 April 2015, DOE will transfer to councils any major or local applications that have not been determined. The council will be responsible for making the decision on these applications, along with deciding all new major and local applications that are submitted after 1 April.
