What happens if a sunset clause is not renewed in planning policy?

Explanation:
A sunset clause creates an automatic expiration point for a policy unless someone takes action to renew or extend it. In planning policy terms, this means the provision will end on its set date if there’s no renewal. So if the sunset clause isn’t renewed, the policy simply expires and enforcement stops. It doesn’t delay enforcement, it doesn’t set an unrelated fixed date, and it doesn’t renew on its own.
