This control will be me* as follows:-

1. Where permbion is sought to demolish or alter a buildingwhich has ban listed under the Planning INorthefn Ireland)Order I972as

3. Mmiatsshould generally be sympathetic in texture, dour and quality to traditionat local usage.

4. Changes of use necessitating a planning application which are likely to have an adverse effecton land or buildings which contribute

simifjmcantlvto the character of ConservmtimAreas will not normally be permitted.

S. mddng of new open will be carefully considered ta ensure that they make a positive contribution to the Conservation Area

7. DcwIopment near, but not inside a Conservation Area and visually related to it, should be sited md designed in size, form and

8. Under the Planniw (General Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 1973 certain types of development do not require &fic

planning pemisoion. H-r, the Dapartment hae power to direct that in any particular area these types of development s h 4 d
