To the extent of any inconsistency: a) a State planning policy applies instead of a regional plan or local planning instrument; and b) a regional plan applies instead of a local planning instrument; and c) a planning scheme applies instead of a planning scheme policy; and d) a TLPI applies instead of a planning scheme or planning scheme policy.
