Planning Policy 1
“‘For the purposes of this Statement, urban design is be taken to mean the
relationship between different buildings; the relationship between buildings and
the streets, squares, parks, waterways and other spaces which make up the
public domain; the nature and quality of the public domain itself; the
relationship of one part of a village, town or city with other parts; and the
patterns of movement and activity that are thereby established: in short, the
complex relationships between all the elements of built and unbuilt space. As
the appearance and treatment of the spaces between and around buildings is
often of comparable importance to the design of the buildings themselves,
landscape design will be considered as an integral part of urban design. “
Planning Policy 9
“The Enforcement of Planning Control”, sets out the general policy approach that
the department will follow in taking enforcement action against unauthorised
development in Northern Ireland. It also provides advice on the Department’s
approach to the enforcement of additional aspects of planning control over listed
buildings, conservation areas, hazardous substances, trees and advertisements.”
