Purpose

This knowledge builder provides a guide to the main features of the Northern Ireland planning system, by comparison to the English system, which itself is reflective of the overall GB position.

Benefits

With the post-ceasefire surge in development in Northern Ireland, it is common for planning professionals based in England and elsewhere in Great Britain to become involved in local planning matters. Often, the similarities between the planning systems on both sides of the Irish Sea lull visitors into a fall sense of security, and critical differences of law, policy and practice can be overlooked.
