This dataset provides information about the extent of municipal land use planning in Nova Scotia. Each municipality is listed along with the type of its land use planning described as either comprehensive for entire municipality, comprehensive for local areas only, comprehensive for towns, or single issue. It also lists the date of the municipal land use plans described. A comprehensive strategy is one that address all major areas of concern, for example: residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, environmental, social and economic. A single-issue plan only deals with specific land-use issues such as wind turbines, drinking water protection, general development. Municipal planning strategies may be developed for an entire municipality and/or a local area within its jurisdiction.
