The Government has committed to updating a number of National Policy Statements which will support the Government’s long-term ambitions to improve infrastructure, productivity and energy generation across the country.

Whilst we do not have current plans to introduce a National Policy Statement for visitor attractions, we would be happy to receive further representations on this issue.

Certain business and commercial projects, which could include projects relating to leisure and tourism, can, on request, be directed into the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects consenting regime, provided the Secretary of State is satisfied that such projects are ones of national significance.
