Sinn Féin Councillor Danny Lavery has warned local people not to get their hopes up after the environment minister announced he is to relax planning laws from next month.
Danny said the dozens of homeowners across North Belfast who were told they could build dormer windows without planning permission are unlikely to be given a reprieve in the new announcement.
He said he is dealing with a number of local people who were told they could install dormer windows without planning permission and are now at odds with planning law.
“The relaxing of the law has to be welcomed, but I would urge people not to get their hopes up,” said Danny.
“This latest announcement does not include retrospective applications, which means that those who already have them will not be automatically given permission.
“It is also likely to mean that dormer windows at the side of a house will be ok but those at the front will not. Many householders will still be left in the same position,” said the Sinn Féin representative.
