The Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) recognised the gap in understanding ‘environmental limits’ at a local, practical level and set out to support the UK Government in developing a clearer set of principles for embedding environmental limits in a wide range of land use planning documents and policies.

This document is intended to provide an accessible summary of research to date. It assembles practical guidance to assist local leaders in recognising environmental limits, and in taking steps to help their communities live well, within these limits.
