Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG)

The purpose of the Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) is to provide advice and guidance in relation to planning policy within the Fermanagh and Omagh Local Development Plan (LDP).

The SPGs cover a range of topic areas, including Affordable Housing, Solar Farms and Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).

These documents offer good practice examples to assist applicants and developers, and are intended for use by developers, members of the public, and Planning Officers. SPG represents non-statutory planning guidance which supports, clarifies and illustrates policies set out in the Fermanagh and Omagh Local Development Plan – Plan Strategy. The SPGs should therefore be read alongside the LDP, which is available online or from the Planning Department. SPGs will be treated as a material consideration in the assessment of planning applications.

Following public consultation, the SPGs have been amended to reflect the responses received. The SPGs will come into effect on 12 May 2025.
