Assessment criteria for tourism development applications
Tourism development applications must be assessed against standard planning criteria including access, design, environmental and amenity impacts, with particular consideration given to safeguarding public access to coastlines and other tourism assets.
Applications for tourism development will also be assessed in accordance with normal planning criteria such as access arrangements, design, environmental and amenity impacts so as to ensure high quality, safe and otherwise satisfactory forms of development. The safeguarding or enhancement of an existing or planned public access to the coastline or other tourism asset will be a particular consideration when assessing proposals for tourism development.
