Planning Policy Statements

Planning Policy Statements (PPS) are official documents that provide guidance on land use and development in a specific area. They help local authorities, developers, and the community understand how land can be used, what kind of buildings can be constructed, and how to ensure sustainable growth. PPS outline government policies on housing, transportation, the environment, and more, aiming to foster orderly development that meets the needs of the population while protecting resources and the quality of life. They are essential for making informed decisions about urban planning and development.
