Scope and Limitations of SPPS Coverage

The SPPS should not be read as a full explanation of the variety of complex social, economic and environmental, and other factors (including those which have implications beyond the confines of the land-use planning system) that should be addressed in implementing the planning system. Neither does it seek to restate policy or guidance that is expressed elsewhere within other relevant government strategies or policies. Furthermore, the SPPS does not seek to identify all of the statutory obligations that have to be met in delivering the entire range of planning functions.
