I t doesn’t matter if your plans are large or small; you must talk to NI Water before you submit your planning application. That is the advice from NI Water as it launches a campaign to highlight the steps small developers and individuals planning to build or extend must follow. Davy McGrath, Head of Developer Services, NI Water explained, “Engaging with NI Water when planning to build or extend is a vital first step. You can do this by filling in a Pre- Development Enquiry Form. This will help us to identify any potential issues with your plans that we can help resolve in advance of submitting your planning application. “If you apply for planning permission in an area where there are capacity issues, we will have to recommend the application is turned down until you engage with us. This is to ensure we can continue to protect the environment. So please, engage with us early to avoid delays to your project and potential disappointment if your application is refused.” Further information on how to engage with
