Download or read book Planning Law and Practice in Northern Ireland written by Stephen McKay and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-24 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of the jurisdictions within the United Kingdom is constantly refining the operational characteristics of its planning system and while there are some common practices, there are also substantive divergences. In each territory the planning template is shaped within a dynamic political and legal context and thus students and practitioners require an accessible, in-depth and up-to-date literature dealing with this matter. The multi-disciplinary contributors to this expanded Second Edition of Planning Law and Practice in Northern Ireland explore the progression of planning within the region and discuss prominent facets of contemporary development management, development plans, environmental law, property law and professional practice. Consideration is given to the consequences of Brexit for planning in Northern Ireland, devolved government institutional structures for planning, and the post-2015 emergent performance of local authorities in this arena. The book makes an important contribution to the wider literature in this field and, with its extensive citing of statutes and cases, provides an essential resource for students, planning practitioners and researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) is an important and often obligatory part of proposing or launching any development project. Delivering a successful ESIA needs not only an understanding of the theory but also a detailed knowledge of the methods for carrying out the processes required. Riki Therivel and Graham Wood bring together the latest advice on best practice from experienced practitioners to ensure an ESIA is carried out effectively and efficiently. This new edition: • explains how an ESIA works and how it should be carried out • demonstrates the links between socio-economic, cultural, environmental and ecological systems and assessments • incorporates the World Bank’s IFC performance standards, and best practice examples from developing as well as developed countries • includes new chapters on emerging ESIA topics such as climate change, ecosystem services, cultural impacts, resource efficiency, land acquisition and involuntary resettlement. Invaluable to undergraduate and MSc students of ESIA on planning, ecology, geography and environment courses, this internationally oriented fourth edition of Methods of Environmental and Social Impact Assessment is also of great use to planners, ESIA practitioners and professionals seeking to update their skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lush and green, the beauty of Ireland's landscape is legendary. "The Atlas of the Irish Rural Landscape" has harnessed the expertise of dozens of specialists to produce an exciting and pioneering study which aims to increase understanding and appreciation for the landscape as an important element of Irish national heritage, and to provide a much needed basis for an understanding of landscape conservation and planning. Essentially cartographic in approach, the Atlas is supplemented by diagrams, photographs, paintings, and explanatory text. Regional case studies, covering the whole of Ireland from north to south, are included, along with historical background. The impact of human civilization upon Ireland's geography and environment is well documented, and the contributors to the Atlas deal with contemporary changes in the landscape resulting from developments in Irish agriculture, forestry, bog exploitation, tourism, housing, urban expansion, and other forces. "The Atlas of the Rural Irish Landscape" is a book which aims to educate and inform the general reader and student about the relationship between human activity and the landscape. It is a richly illustrated, beautifully written, and immensely authoritative work that will be the guide to Ireland's geography for many years to come.

Download or read book Understanding Attachment to Utilitarian Landscapes and Wind Energy Support in the Chignecto Area written by Ellen Nicola Chappell and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While increasing production from renewable sources is of critical importance to address climate change and other global issues, it requires the construction of new infrastructure, which is often highly visible and located near communities. Unlike fossil fuel generation, which usually occurs in remote locations, the success of renewable energy production depends on support from communities for infrastructure in their landscape. Landscapes evolve to meet the changing needs of societies, and renewable energy production will change landscapes around the world in coming decades, with support for these changes from surrounding communities dependent on many factors. The purpose of this study is to explore factors influencing support for wind energy from communities around an existing wind farm, in an area that has experienced other changes to local infrastructure. The study examines how residents perceive change to past utilitarian landscape features and how this influences support for future change in the context of wind energy. The study also explores other factors influencing support, specifically the distribution of energy and benefits from wind development. This research is guided by the framework of climax thinking, which is used to understand how people respond to change in their landscape and proposes that people are more likely to oppose change if they believe their surroundings to be static and fail to imagine past landscapes, future landscapes, or landscapes that occur elsewhere as a result of their energy use. Research was conducted in the Chignecto area of Atlantic Canada, a region with a long history of interaction between humans and the environment and significant change to built landscapes over recent decades. The area is losing or has lost four landscape features: dykes from the 1600s are being moved or restored to salt marsh due to rising sea levels, foundries built in the 1800s no longer exist, most of the giant hay barns from the 1800s have collapsed or been removed, and radio towers dating from the Second World War were recently dismantled. Additionally, a wind farm was constructed near the Town of Amherst in 2012. A mail-out survey was designed and distributed to randomly selected homes in the region, achieving a response rate of 40%. All surveys contained question sets asking about exposure to wind turbines; support for wind energy development; place attachment to the Chignecto area; beliefs concerning distribution of energy and benefits from wind farms; and demographics. Half the surveys also contained an experimental section asking residents how they feel about past landscape change in the Chignecto area. Results found that residents demonstrate attachment to past utilitarian landscapes, and analysis revealed this attachment to be independent of both place attachment and time in the region, but higher among males and conservatives. Attachment to past landscapes also increases wind support among people who currently see turbines from their home, but is not a significant predictor of support for people who can't, suggesting wind turbines can become a part of people's 'climax landscape'. Many commonly used predictors of wind support, such as place attachment or community ownership, lack significance in this study, particularly at the local scale. New predictors, including support for additional renewable energy generation for export beyond local needs and agreement that wind turbines provide a reminder of energy use and generation, instead emerge at the local scale. This thesis explores how residents think about change to utilitarian features and wind energy generation in their surrounding landscape, suggesting new opportunities for understanding support for renewable energy development.
