Answer
The provisions for the review of old mineral permissions (ROMPs) in the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 were carried forward from the Planning (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 and have not been commenced.
At this point in time I have made no decision on the commencement of ROMPs provisions. I have instructed my officials to undertake a priority review of the issues surrounding old mineral permissions and will decide the way forward following consideration of this work.
