Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

As set out in the reply to Question No. 620 of 13 November 2018 referred to, clarification of the practical aspects of implementation of the National Planning Framework policies across existing local authority plans and Regional Spatial Economic Strategies has been provided through ongoing engagement by my Department and the Regional Assemblies.  My Department will continue to provide support and guidance as appropriate and this engagement will feed into and help inform my assessment of the draft Strategies that are now being published for consultation, in my role as a statutory consultee.
