does a plan 'make provision'?
Hi,
Do we say that a (spatial) plan 'makes provision,' meaning that it must contain rules, for instance about land uses (for instance, some areas are reserved for housing, some are defined as conservation areas and you cannot build anything, and so on)? My sentence is something like this:
This plan must make provisions for the whole regional territory, irrespective of the type of the landscape, therefore it affects not only areas of outstanding beauty, but also brownfields and derelict areas, by defining which actions can be undertaken.
Many thanks!!!

Generally speaking, yes, that's OK.

- However, 'to make provision' really is based on 'to provide', so it would be better to include clearly in your context some indication of what these provisions are.
- eg This plan must make provisions for appropriate zoning of the whole regional territory .
