Justification for Tourism Facility Protection
Existing tourism, leisure and cultural facilities should be maintained and protected to maintain visitor choice and maximize visitor numbers and spend in the plan area.
There are a number of existing tourism, leisure and cultural facilities and assets located in the council's plan area, which should be maintained and protected from pressure from new development. The intention is to ensure if alternative development is proposed that a replacement provision is made to maintain the choice of tourism facilities and assets available in the plan area to maximise visitor numbers and spend.
