Other renewables includes energy from anaerobic digestion, biomass incineration, heat pumps, hydro<br />
electricity schemes, landfill gas, solar collec<strong>to</strong>rs, and waste incineration.<br />
This information is based on records up <strong>to</strong> 30 September 2011.<br />
DOE Planning continues <strong>to</strong> refine and improve the quality of data it holds for renewable energy<br />
applications. As such the data contained herein may differ from that previously published and in itself<br />
may be subject <strong>to</strong> revision.<br />
Memorials <strong>to</strong> Terrorists<br />
Mr Allister asked the Minister of the Environment how many memorials <strong>to</strong> (i) republican; and (ii) socalled<br />
loyalist terrorists have planning permission.<br />
(AQW 8414/11-15)<br />
Mr Attwood: In general a free standing structure such as a statue is likely <strong>to</strong> require planning<br />
permission. There may be circumstances where a memorial is so minor in nature that it is considered<br />
not <strong>to</strong> be development requiring planning permission, for example, a small roadside cross or a small<br />
wall mounted plaque.<br />
DOE Planning has dealt with approximately 50 planning applications since 1999 for various memorials.<br />
42 were approved, 1 was refused and the remainder comprise applications awaiting decision or invalid<br />
applications.<br />
Cost of Removing Illegal Memorials <strong>to</strong> Terrorists<br />
Mr Allister asked the Minister of the Environment <strong>to</strong> quantify the cost of removing illegal memorials <strong>to</strong><br />
terrorists in each of the last five years.<br />
(AQW 8415/11-15)<br />
Mr Attwood: The Department has dealt with approximately 50 planning applications since 1999 for<br />
various memorials.<br />
