A land-use planning policy began developing in the 19th century to promote resource development, later to conserve public land and control erosion, and now to protect environmental policy. No comprehensive national land-use policy exists, however, except as a de facto array of regulations, permits, and licenses regarding facility siting and activities. Most are restrictions to mitigate adverse environmental effects, but their effect is to subject the siting of large development projects to government control, narrow the choice of sites, restrict the role of state and local officials, and eliminate areas of uncertainty from consideration.
