Question

Your planningcommission URL has a % which is the source of the problem. Escape it using \%. — Werner, Jul 21 '14 at 20:06
the compilation works if you not use \resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{...} — , Jul 21 '14 at 20:10
There are two unnecessary spaces before and after the table. Fix by commenting the line end: \resizebox{% and \end{tabular}% — Heiko Oberdiek, Jul 21 '14 at 20:10
There is hardly ever a good reason to scale a table like this \resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{ (although if you must add a %there). It just introduces inconsistent font sizes. — David Carlisle, Jul 21 '14 at 20:31
@TimS.: That's because the argument (the entire tabular) is read by \resizebox without consideration of the \url command (it's just another macro). And, in doing so, there is a missing end-brace, causing the problem. — Werner, Jul 21 '14 at 20:41
Another option is to use \urldef from the url package. See Getting percent sign into an URL in a footnote. — Werner, Jul 21 '14 at 21:12

Scaling the table gives you little control over the font size. Here I've used \footnotesize which is really as small as you want to go. This bleeds into the margins but using subject knowledge you can probably abbreviate the first column headings and make it fit. Alternatively wrapping the existing headings to a narrower column but letting the table go to two pages.

A slight improvement to David Carlisle's version, with threeparttable and makecell: table now fits ‘naturally’ into the margins:
