If you live outside Northern Ireland then please email [email protected] STANDARD LETTER – AMEND THE PLANNING BILL Here is a standard letter you can use as your guide but feel free to change or add to it according to your circumstances:- —————————————-—————————————-—- “To – Arlene Foster MLA, Tom Elliott MLA, Phil Flanagan MLA, Maurice Morrow MLA, Sean Lynch MLA, Bronwyn McGahan MLA, Michelle Gildernew MP, Peter Robinson – First Minister and Martin McGuinness – Deputy First Minister. We need a planning system in Northern Ireland which protects our special places as well as allowing good development in the right place for communities and the economy. Please act now to amend the Planning Bill 2013 when it comes to the floor of the Assembly. Please vote in the following way. Say yes to: • Bringing in protection for World Heritage Sites and their settings in Northern Ireland, which includes the Giant’s Causeway; • Making sure that the Bill is balanced, by amending Clause 2 of the Bill to ensure our planning system furthers sustainable development which ensures: • Protection and enhancement of the environment; • Promotion of economic development; • Promotion of social well-being. Say no to: • The economic development line currently in Clause 2; • The wording in Clause 6 — which could be used to place too much emphasis on economic considerations. With Clause 2 amended, this is no longer needed. This really matters to me – please do this for future generations. Please confirm to me that you will present my views when the Planning Bill is voted on at the Assembly.”
