At a broad level national planning policy is underpinned by:

· the strategic planning framework of the National Spatial Strategy (NSS) 2002-2020, supplemented at regional and local level by Regional Planning Guidelines and Development Plans respectively,

· an extensive suite of statutory planning guidelines,

· and the legislative framework of the Planning and Development Acts 2000-2011 and associated regulations.

I will provide a more detailed response on any particular aspect of planning of specific interest to the Deputy.
