PPS14 the controversial piece of planning legislation that was subject to a High Court ruling last week has divided opinion within the voluntary sector.

Friends of the Earth Northern Ireland is concerned at the impact the ruling will have on the rural environment. John Woods from Frinds of the Earth is particularly anxious that the Government finds a legal means of ensuring PPS14 remains in force pending its review of the policy.
Rural Community Network has welcomed the judgement of Mr Justice Gillen to quash the decision by former Stormont Minister Lord Rooker on PPS14. This move endorses the overwhelming position articulated by RCN’s 450 members and supported through responses to RCN’s consultation on the unpopular policy.
