Have your say - today
People living in the North West's rural areas are being urged to have their say on new countryside planning laws.
The consultation period for PPS21 - Stormont's new proposals for countryside planning - ends today.
The new proposals replace the controversial PPS14, which sought to limit new builds in rural areas outside existing settlements.
Strabane Sinn Fein councillor Kieran McGuire said it was imperative people in rural communities had their say on the new draft proposals.
“It is vitally important that members of the public respond to this consultation on PPS21 as it could detrimentally affect the sustainability of rural communities which will have a knock-on effect on rural businesses, post offices, GAA clubs, etc.
“The consultation period ends on 31st March and I would urge rural dwellers to submit their views on the future of rural planning to planning.policy@doeni.gov.uk or by post to: Draft PPS21 Consultation, Planning and Environmental Policy Group, 12th Floor River House, 48 High Street, BELFAST, BT1 2AW.”
