Other Operational Changes

In addition to changes to the legislation the Department has undertaken a number of other changes to implement the Planning Action Plan. 

• Operational Policies in relation to Interested Person Status, Section 13 Agreements and Registered Buildings have been produced. These will be updated to cross-reference the new legislation but otherwise remain in force.
• Residential Design Guidance has been published. This is unaffected by the recent legislative changes and will continue to be a material consideration.

We are currently working towards allowing the electronic submission of planning applications.
