Rural Policy Framework for Northern Ireland

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) published a consultation on a proposed Rural Policy Framework for Northern Ireland.

Rural Northern Ireland is an important part of Northern Ireland and contributes overall to the economy, environmental services - supporting all of Northern Ireland, including the towns and cities - and society. Having a comprehensive rural framework provides a cohesive and effective structure to the approach to be taken by government policy and a direction of travel for other public stakeholders and private investors.

RTPI NI welcomes and supports the proposed Rural Policy Framework for Northern
Ireland. The response to the consultation can be viewed here.
