@AndrewMuirNI thank you for your positive comments on Roe Valley country park, but can I check, did your officers also draw attention to their resistance to saving the parks heritage buildings and stopping the leaching of water? Please contact me. @VisitCauseway
Nothing for 10 days, and then suddenly 61 notifications, what happened? Why does nobody ever talk about explore / declare / update the problems with the @PlanningPortal in NI? @ArchitectureNI @RTPIPlanners @belfastcc@BellArchitects
Ongoing engagement with @CausewayCouncil planning team today with gathering of 20+ local active architects and planning consultants to discuss improving speed and efficiency of applications - looking to see changes as promised. @ArchitectureNI @RTPIPlanners @BellArchitects
Hopefully @CausewayCouncil area will comment usefully this Thursday - 2pm to 7pm in Coleraine town Hall. Always a mystery how Departments can manage to put plans together BEFORE speaking to the community…. @CCAGBusiness@VisitCauseway - what is ‘active travel’ ?
Excellent and extraordinary start to the year with @CausewayCouncil planning office - I actually took a call today from a planning officer keen to make reasonable progress on an application, well done 👍
A very important decision today after appeal in @ANDborough - infill proposal refused and dismissed at appeal @BellArchitects acting on behalf of concerned neighbours. The tide has turned on infill harvesting in inappropriate locations. @ArchitectureNI @RTPINI
Brilliant to secure the planning approval of the Drenagh Orangery with involvement of Causeway planning… superb addition to @VisitCauseway - local attractions taking pressure and focus off the Causeway 👍 @BellArchitects @EventsCauseway #limavady
ALT A summary spreadsheet in traffic light format that shows the outstanding error or challenge issues affecting the NI planning portal - with only one item out of 20 doing better, and the rest in red, meaning failure or lack of progress.
'Congruent', new body of #sculptures looking at #harmony and disharmony, unity/disunity.

Thanks gallery staff for a fantastic, strong Opening night & all who came creating a collective voice, an energy buzz.
@ArtsCouncilNI
Have we taken legal advice on the issues and have we sought input from @RIBA and @RIASmembership as they are further ahead on the topic? Very interested to hear legal opinion on the issue. @BarristerSecret@williamorbinson
Northern Irish architects call for amendments to controversial legislation arising from the problems at Victoria Square
"...while no-one has set out to make innocent people liable for the faults of others, this legislation blows that possibility wide open"
This has huge implications for rural dwelling planning, for recent approvals, and for those that are intent on justifying dwellings into gaps that are actually important for our countryside. @ArchitectureNI @RTPINI
