In 2004, the Government introduced Regional Spatial Strategies to better deliver policy at the regional level than the current Regional Planning Guidance (RPG).
The RSSs, being developed by the Regional Assemblies, are important to tourism development as they provide a spatial framework to inform the preparation of LDDs, Local Transport Plans (LTPs) and regional and sub-regional strategies and programmes that have a bearing on land use activities for up to 20 years.
Attached, therefore is each Regional Assembly’s timetable and key contacts for RSS development.

Sir Michael Lyon is currently undertaking a review of local government funding. The Tourism Alliance supports the aims of the inquiry and the need for local authorities to be able to devote greater resources to the provision and maintenance of public facilities. However, tourists already contribute significantly through taxation and, rather than imposing further taxation on tourists, the current tourism contribution should be more appropriately allocated.

Studies undertaken by the Department for Transport (DfT) show that there is a strong correlation between regional air capacity and economic development. Therefore, to stimulate regional economic activity, while at the same time relieving pressure on airports in the South East, the DfT is embarking on a programme to encourage the development of additional regional aviation routes through the establishment of Route Development Funds (RDFs). These funds will be established and operated by RDAs and operate in a similar manner to RDFs already operating in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
This briefing paper provides information on the formation of Route Development Funds so that members can approach their RDA and contribute to the debate on establishing a fund and the route development process itself.
