Municipal Land Use Planning Comprehensiveness

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.
