  • POP024 Topic Paper: Environmental Constraints
    POP024 Belfast LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2020-2035 Environmental Constraints Topic Paper December 2016 Executive Summary Context The planning system is key to delivering sustainable development and has a pivotal role to play in addressing environmental issues. The information contained within this paper discusses some of the topics relating to the requirements of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) which is set out in European Directive 2001/42/EC and is transposed into Northern Ireland law by the ‘Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations (NI) 2004 (EAPP (NI) 2004 (referred to ‘SEA Regulations’). The SEA Directive requires the Council to assess the likely significant effects of its plans and programmes on: “the environment, including on issues such as biodiversity, population, human health, fauna, flora, soil, water, air, climatic factors, material assets, cultural heritage including architectural and archaeological heritage, landscape and the interrelationship of the above factors” including “secondary, cumulative, synergistic, short, medium, and long-term, permanent and temporary positive and negative effects”. Within the Regional Development Strategy 2035 (RDS) recognises the importance of Northern Ireland’s environment and the need to protect and enhance it. It also recognises the need to reduce our carbon footprint and facilitate and adapt to climate change through the re-use of land, buildings and materials, recycling, improve air quality, protect soils and extend the ecosystems and habitats. Supporting the RDS, the Strategic Planning Policy Statement provides opportunities within the planning system to help mitigate and adapt to climate change by promoting sustainable patterns of development, including re-use of historic buildings, shaping new and existing developments in ways that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and positively build community resilience, promoting renewable energy systems an working with natural environmental processes e.g.
