Sustainable Tourism Development

The Council will promote the growth of a sustainable tourism economy in our Borough. This will be achieved by: (a) Supporting proposals for new or enhanced high quality sustainable tourist attractions, amenities and complementary facilities in appropriate locations; (b) Supporting the establishment of new or converted high quality tourism accommodation in appropriate locations where this will broaden the range of accommodation available within our Borough; (c) Exercising appropriate control over the development of holiday chalets, cabins, caravan and camping sites; and (d) Protecting existing tourism assets by safeguarding our Borough's historic environment and natural heritage from unnecessary, inappropriate or excessive development.
