This wording applies to all planning authorities so they must do what is set out in section 42(1) and (2), which reads "The strategy shall set out objectives relating to ... sustainable rural development". What if there is a planning authority that does not have rural areas in its functional area? This states they have to set out objectives relating to sustainable rural development. There are some planning authorities that do not have rural areas. There are not many but there are a few.
