T4 - NEW BUILT DEVELOPMENT TO PROVIDE TOURIST FACILITIES

New, purpose-built tourist facilities will only be permitted within the developed areas, subject to compliance with (d), (e) and (f) below. Outside the developed area, such facilities will only be permitted where:

  • the building is strictly essential and ancillary to the tourist potential of associated land or buildings; and
  • the building is small-scale in terms of floorspace, height and bulk, and of a design appropriate to the character of the area; and
  • the building is sited within an existing group or complex of buildings or, where such a siting is not possible, is sited in a readily screened, unexposed location; and
  • it would not adversely affect the character or amenities of nearby properties or the locality in general and would be in accordance with policy EP3 (Use, Design and Layout of Development); and
  • adequate parking for both staff and visitors would be provided within the application site; and
  • the proposal would comply with all the other policies in this Plan. Particular attention is drawn to policies TR5 (Accesses, Highway Works and Traffic Generation) and EP7 (Signs and Advertisements).
