Regional Spatial Planning Strategy for Tourism
Tourism and Related Sport and Recreation The Regional Assembly prepared the draft tourism strategy, taking into consideration consultation responses, in Autumn 2002. A sustainability appraisal of the consultation draft was also undertaken and is available. Over 70 responses were received from regional stakeholders in that time. Then with the approval of the full Assembly, the strategy was amended and passed to the Deputy Prime Minister for consideration on 6 May 2003. This was announced in a news release of 6 May 2003. The Secretary of State conducted a consultation on the proposed strategy between 6 May and 29 July 2003. The Regional Assembly wrote to around 2,000 key regional interests (the consultee letter contains more detail on the process) to invite comments on the proposal. However, the views of all interested parties were sought. The draft proposed changes were published in July 2004. Following consultation on the Secretary of State's proposed modifications between July and September 2004, the Government published the final strategy on 30 November 2004, as the new Chapter 14 of Regional Planning Guidance (RPG9). It is now on GOSE's website. The policies included in RPG9 have since been rolled forward (unchanged) into the draft South East Plan. Maps and Sustainability Appraisal
