Weight of Existing Tourism Policies in Development Plans
Tourism policies in development plans that are tailored to local needs and consistent with PPS 16 aims will be given substantial weight in planning application decisions.
Some existing and emerging development plans contain specific tourism policies tailored to the needs or opportunities of their areas. Tourism policies in such plans will be afforded substantial weight in the determination of planning applications, provided they are not deemed to be in contravention of the aims, objectives and general thrust of PPS 16 in facilitating sustainable and high quality tourism development in appropriate locations.
