Campaigners plan court action over John O'Dowd's decision not to enforce planning regulations against a wind turbine near NI Neolithic burial site
Northern Ireland’s planning system has been branded “profoundly ill” after John O’Dowd’s decision not to enforce planning restrictions against a wind turbine built near a 5,000 year-old Neolithic burial site.
A long running dispute followed, leading the council to take legal action against DfI over its refusal to order removal of the turbine. It later dropped the case pending a decision from DfI. “We value our cultural heritage, and the environment, and we believe that the Knock Iveagh case exposes how the Environmental Impact Assessment regulations are still not being properly implemented in Northern Ireland.
“Despite the Minister publicly stating that he was ‘fully aware of the potential enforcement immunity issue’, the promised decision was not only delivered after the agreed deadline had expired, but following years of delays by the authorities.
