Jane Burnside

Jane Burnside is a specialist house architect and countryside campaigner for rural Northern Ireland. In architecture she is most recognised for her Origami House which was featured as finalist in BBC House of the Year and in Extreme Homes USA. She became a countryside campaigner for a better rural planning policy in 2006 after Lord Rooker brought in the controversial Planning Policy PPS14 placing a moratorium on all building in the countryside of Northern Ireland. She went on to assist the Stormont Executive in drafting the new Planning Policy PPS21 for Sustainable Development in the Countryside which was first published in 2008. In 2015 she founded KellsVOCAL, a community action group, which currently campaigns against the industrialisation of the countryside of Northern Ireland.
