  • 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.

  • The Great Reimagining
    The Great Reimagining Material Mediations: People and Things in a World of Movement Edited by Birgit Meyer (Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Utrecht University) and Maruška Svašek (School of History and Anthropology, Queens Uni- versity, Belfast) During the last few years, a lively, interdisciplinary debate has taken place between anthropologists, art historians and scholars of material culture, religion, visual cul- ture and media studies about the dynamics of material production and cultural mediation in an era of intensifying globalization and transnational connectivity. Understanding ‘mediation’ as a fundamentally material process, this series provides a stimulating platform for ethnographically grounded theoretical debates about the many aspects that constitute relationships between people and things, including po- litical, economic, technological, aesthetic, sensorial and emotional processes. Volume 1 Moving Subjects, Moving Objects Transnationalism, Cultural Production and Emotions Edited by Maruška Svašek Volume 2 Growing Artefacts, Displaying Relationships Yams, Art and Technology amongst the Nyamikum Abelam of Papua New Guinea Ludovic Coupaye Volume 3 Objects and Imagination Perspectives on Materialization and Meaning Edited by Øivind Fuglerud and Leon Wainwright Volume 4 The Great Reimagining Public Art, Urban Space and the Symbolic Landscapes of a ‘New’ Northern Ireland Bree T.
