It covers a variety of topics including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>land-use planning,<\/li>\n<li>the protection of the natural and built environment,<\/li>\n<li>the provision of infrastructure and services,<\/li>\n<li>the promotion of sustainable development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is intended to be used by all those involved in the planning process, including local authorities, developers, and members of the public.<\/p>\n<p>The PPSNI is implemented through the planning application process, which is managed by <a href=\"https:\/\/examchum.uk\/landscape-architecture\/local-planning-authority\/\">local authorities<\/a> in Northern Ireland. When a planning application is submitted, the local authority assesses it against the criteria set out in the PPSNI and makes a decision on whether to approve or reject the application. If a planning application is rejected, the applicant can appeal the decision to the Planning Appeals Commission (PAC), which will consider the case and make a final decision. The PAC has the power to approve or reject planning applications and impose conditions on development.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the planning application process, the PPSNI is also used as a reference point for local authorities when preparing Local Development Plans and for other stakeholders when making representations on planning matters.<\/p>\n<p>It is reviewed and updated regularly to ensure it remains relevant and effective in guiding development in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PPSNI is the key document that guides the planning system in Northern Ireland.
