Planning Policy Statement

A Planning Policy Statement (PPS) is a formal document issued by government authorities that outlines their vision, objectives, and rules for land use and development in a specific area. It provides guidance for local planning authorities and developers, ensuring that growth and building projects align with community needs, environmental protection, and sustainable development goals. Essentially, it serves as a strategic framework to help make informed decisions about where and how development should occur, balancing economic, social, and environmental interests.
