A public consultation has been opened on the plans
A free planning advice service is facing closure due to proposals to cease Stormont funding, a charity has warned.
Louise O'Kane, chief executive of Community Places, said: "Ceasing or reducing funding for this frontline service will mean an end to the only free independent planning advice service to people and communities. Stormont departments are facing significant real-term cuts to public services amid soaring inflation and pressures including public sector pay demands.
Parties have called for extra funding for Stormont, but Mr Heaton Harris has said any additional Treasury package would be dependent on a "proper" plan for restoring devolution.
