Annotation:	This article reviews the controversy over the concept of environmental capacity as integral to sustainable development. It considers both the mainstream model and Jacobs' nuanced social constructionist model. Concerns are raised about the appropriateness of land use planning regulatory policy tools and the implications for the distribution of environmental as well as other impacts. The author concludes that the planning system can be exploited to promote rather than resist change and that a wider range of policy tools should be evaluated to achieve change at the local level and to clarify the scope of sustainable development to which local planning can contribute.
