REC19 - VISITOR-RELATED DEVELOPMENT
Subject to other Plan policies the development of new visitor facilities or the extension to existing facilities in the rural areas of the District will be permitted provided:
- they are appropriate to the scale, nature, character, appearance and landscape of the area in which they are sited and where possible make a positive contribution to the appearance of the area;
- the associated activities do not harm the character and amenities of the locality nor prejudice its future enjoyment;
- suitable existing buildings are utilised;
- the amount of traffic likely to be generated by the proposal would not prejudice highway safety or cause significant harm to the environmental character of country roads;
- car parking provision is discreetly located, well screened and would not significantly harm the rural character of the countryside;
- they comply with other policies in the Plan.
In built-up areas new visitor facilities will normally be permitted where they do not prejudice the other policies of the Plan.
