Abstract
Comprises the draft best practice guidance which accompanies draft planning policy statement 23 'enabling development'. The draft PPS proposes a policy for assessing enabling development i.e. development that would not normally be acceptable, but can be justified where there are overriding public benefits to be gained from the development scheme overall. The purpose of introducing such a policy is to maintain and enhance the standard of a wide range of community facilities in Northern Ireland including cultural, educational, social, health, built heritage and leisure facilities and the restoration and creation of wildlife habitat.
