Environment Minister Mark H Durkan has said that he has lawfully adopted the Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan.
+++++++
A: Mr Durkan was addressing the Northern Ireland Assembly on Monday.
When questioned about whether his department is now open to legal challenge, he said he would robustly defend its decision in the courts.
He said he trusted that other ministers would be reluctant to waste public money on a protracted legal battle.
He said he brought the plan to the executive on several occasions.
The only issue raised related to the restriction on the sale of bulky goods at any further expansion of the Sprucefield retail area near Lisburn, he said.
The plan, BMAP, is a framework for greater Belfast.
It identifies zones for retail, residential or commercial development. The plan affects almost 40% of the Northern Ireland population.
Last week, Mr Durkan said he had approved the plan without the agreement of all his colleagues in the executive.
The DUP had previously said that BMAP was a cross-cutting matter relevant to more than one department and should have the agreement of the whole executive.
The minister confirmed that some of his executive colleagues were unhappy with the retail zoning given to Sprucefield near Lisburn.
The BMAP treatment of Sprucefield limits future expansion to "bulky goods" only, which would mean a proposed John Lewis shop could not be built there.
The plan covers not just Belfast but outlying areas such as Carrickfergus, Lisburn, Newtownabbey and North Down.

Peterborough manager Graham Westley described his side's performance in the 2-0 loss at Fleetwood as "appalling".
+++++++
A: The result left Posh closer to the relegation zone than the play-off places and ended the team's three-game winning streak.
"I won't tolerate what I've watched tonight," Westley told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
"The most energy we put in was smashing up the noticeboard in the dressing room after the game."
Relegation strugglers Fleetwood had gone six league games without a win in the league before Tuesday's game.
"We didn't run hard enough, they ran harder than us. We didn't play with enough quality, they showed more quality than us. We deserved what we got," Westley added.
"I thought that performance was an insult to the people who travelled here to watch us.
"We're at that stage of the season where it's decision-making time. We've seen too many people too often produce the goods one week and produce inconsistency the next."

A bill that would see lower legal alcohol limits for drivers has passed through another stage at the Northern Ireland Assembly.
+++++++
A: Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said the Road Traffic Bill would "save lives on our roads".
The drink-drive limit in Northern Ireland would be reduced by almost 40%.
Under the plans, the permitted blood alcohol limit would be reduced to 50mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood - down from the current UK limit of 80mg.
It would be the first major shake up in Northern Ireland's drink drive laws since the limit was introduced in 1968.
The bill also includes restrictions on new young drivers carrying passengers immediately after they pass their test.
The assembly gave its backing to new drivers up to the age of 24 not being allowed to carry more than one young passenger (aged 14 to 20, except immediate family members) during the six months after they pass their test, between the hours of 10pm and 6am.
The minister, Mr Durkan, said: "This is an important milestone towards reducing deaths on our roads.
"I welcome assembly backing for the lower drink drive limits, for a new graduated driver licensing scheme, and a new requirement for quad drivers to wear a helmet when riding on roads.
"There is also compelling evidence of the heightened risk of collisions when new young drivers carry teenage passengers.
"Young drivers carrying two young passengers are twice as likely to be killed as driving alone, and four times more likely to die if carrying three young passengers.
"The assembly has given its backing for young people not carrying passengers during night-time hours, for the first six months after they pass their test. I would like to see this being for the full 24 hours and feel there is still work to be done to the legislation regarding that."
The bill will now go to further consideration stage.

The head of so-called Islamic State (IS) in Afghanistan, Abu Sayed, has been killed in a raid on the group's headquarters in the eastern province of Kunar, US officials say.
+++++++
A:

assistant: The raid on 11 July also resulted in the deaths of other IS members, the Pentagon said in a statement on Friday.
The operation was aimed at "disrupting the group's plans to expand" in Afghanistan, the statement added.
Abu Sayed's predecessor, Abdul Hasib, was killed in a military raid in April.
There has been no confirmation of the latest death by IS.
Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said that Abu Sayed was chosen to lead the group after US and Afghan forces killed the previous IS leaders Hafiz Sayed Khan in a drone strike in 2016 and Abdul Hasib earlier this year.
IS has faced armed opposition from the larger and more powerful Afghan Taliban and has struggled to increase its support or the amount of territory it holds in Afghanistan.
Kunar is one of the group's main strongholds, along with the eastern province of Nangarhar.
In addition to the reported killings of Sayed and Hasib, US and Afghan forces have killed or captured hundreds of IS militants in an offensive this year, according to the US military.
IS announced it was moving into Afghanistan and Pakistan when it declared its so-called Khorasan Province (sometimes called ISIS-K) in 2015.
In July 2016, a suicide bomb attack on a Shia Muslim rally in Kabul killed about 80 people.
Three months later, two similar attacks during the Shia religious festival of Ashura claimed about 30 lives, and in November 2016 an attack at a mosque in Kabul killed more than 30.
