EXTRACT:
1.1 New development can have repercussions for the environment through its potential to
pollute, and opportunities for new development can be constrained by existing pollution.
As good planning is about delivering the right development in the right place, land-use
planning has a significant influence in defining the quality of natural and built
environments. Environmental permitting and compliance systems complement land-use
planning through controlling the operation of those industries and processes which have
the potential to damage the quality of land, air or water, or human health.
1.2 The Government welcomes development that supports the nation’s economic and social
progress and in doing so attaches great importance to controlling and minimising the
potential for pollution and its impact. It looks:
• to the planning system to guide to appropriate locations development that may give
rise to pollution, either directly or indirectly, and to ensure that other uses and
developments are not, as far as possible, affected by major existing or potential sources
of pollution; and,
• to environmental permitting and compliance systems to protect the environment and
human health, in line with obligations under European law.
