Protection of Heritage and Natural Assets for Tourism Sustainability
The Council requires careful management of tourism development to ensure that historic environment and natural heritage assets are not compromised by inappropriate development, balancing tourism opportunities with asset protection.
The Council acknowledges however that to support and enhance our Borough's tourism sector, careful management is required to ensure that the key historic environment and natural heritage assets which it relies upon are not compromised by inappropriate or unsympathetic development. By recognising both the opportunities provided by and the need to protect our key tourism assets, the Council can make a positive contribution to a healthy and sustainable rural economy and tourism sector.
