## Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Planning (General Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 1993 (“the 1993 Order”).                     

Article 2(2) inserts definitions of “mine” and “mining operations” into Article 2 of the 1993 Order.

Schedule 1 of this Order amends Part 1A (Installation of Domestic Microgeneration Equipment) to expand the scope of that permitted                        development. The insertion of Class G provides for the installation, alteration or replacement of an air source heat pump                        within the curtilage of a dwellinghouse.                     

Schedule 2 of this Order inserts a new Part 16A into Schedule 1 to the 1993 Order. Part 16A permits development ancillary                        to mining operations.
