90 Tourism
Tourism is encouraged by:
- policies in the Plan relating to the maintenance of economic prosperity, the development of heritage facilities and the protection of the environment, in particular the countryside;
- provision of leisure facilities (Policies 72-89); and
- providing visitor accommodation (Policies 91-93, 95 and 110): proposals for new hotels are given in the Schedule of Leisure and Tourism Proposal Sites.
Facilities providing information and interpretation of Dacorum’s heritage will be permitted in appropriate locations subject to the Development Strategy (Policies 2-8) and the requirements of Policy 11. Reuse of rural buildings for such visitor facilities (Policy 110) will, in principle, be encouraged. Tourist facilities should be accessible by a number of transport methods.
