Brian Wilson warned that the new order PPS 21 on rural planning permission will drive a coach and horses through any sensible rural planning and creates so many loop holes that it will prove to be a free for all and a charter for developers and speculators.
Assembly member Brian Wilson said: “PPS 21 has nothing to do with developing rural communities and totally ignores the environmental impact of single dwellings in the country side; it ignores the threat of bungalow blight and creates a culture of a hacienda on every hillside. The lessons of Donegal have been ignored and our beautiful country side which is a major tourism attraction will be destroyed. The potential for the development of our tourism sector will be greatly reduced.”
