localised disturbance to residents. The Council is concerned at the absence of satisfactory environmental controls over helicopter activities and will continue to press for regular monitoring of helicopter activity and for a system of controls to mitigate the loss of amenity and environmental disturbance they cause. Increasing road traffic congestion in the South East is likely to stimulate increased helicopter traffic. It is, therefore, important to devise a satisfactory system to control all regularly used landing sites in order to take account of the full environmental impact of growth in their use. The Council will continue to urge the CAA to publish at regular intervals the amount of use of helicopter routes in order that the scale of helicopter activity can be taken into proper consideration in assessing applications. A7 THE LOCAL PLANNING AUTHORITY WILL OPPOSE DEVELOPMENTS LIKELY TO INCREASE HELICOPTER ACTIVITY IF IT WOULD RESULT IN UNACCEPTABLE LEVELS OF NOISE AND OTHER DISTURBANCE TO RESIDENTS.

12. TOURISM Introduction 12.1 Current Government guidance on tourism (PPG21, November 1992) recognises that tourism makes a major contribution to the national economy and its continuing growth generates a range of economic activity and new job opportunities. As it often depends on a high quality environment, it can act as a positive force for environmental protection and enhancement. The Government has adopted four guiding principles (PPG12 : Para 13.15) against which sustainable tourism can be assessed in accordance with the environmental strategy in 'This Common Inheritance'. The Government's tourism policy claims to secure a proper balance between: - maximising the economic and employment benefits that tourism can bring; - promoting geographical and seasonal spread of tourism; - encouraging the development of non-traditional destinations as well as the more popular visitor locations; - respecting the needs of the tourist industry and its customers; - safeguarding the environment; and - protecting the interests of the communities that cater for its needs, but feel its effects. (PPG12, Para 3.13). 12.2 Tourism is made up of a wide range of very different, but interdependent activities and operations, including accommodation, catering, transport and tourist attractions. There is also an overlap with related uses such as sport, entertainment, the arts and recreation and leisure activities. The tourism industry offers a wide range of jobs at all skill levels; there is a higher proportion of small businesses in tourism compared with the economy as a whole. The growth of tourism in the U.K. has been accompanied by changes in the types and distribution of tourism, including short breaks, day trips, business travel and special activity/interest holidays. There has also been an increase in the visits by overseas residents to the U.K., the majority of which will enter the U.K. at Heathrow Airport. 12.3 The indications are that the industry will continue to grow and to realise its potential. As such the industry needs to maintain a continuous programme of investment and reinvestment. Revised RPG3 (1996) recognised the economic role of tourism to London and the potential growth as a source of revenue. As London attracts 50% of the money spent in the U.K. by visitors from abroad, appropriate provision is required to meet new needs. Whilst the Council would not seek to encourage development in the Borough at the expense of its environment, it will aim to encourage the development of hotels near transport interchanges, especially accessible to major international transport facilities and main attractions (see Chapter 15) and introduce measures to improve the environment of routes and airports into London (RPG3 : 1996 Para 3.23). 12.4 This Council recognises the role it has to play in the future growth of tourism, not only in the provision of facilities, but also through its economic regeneration initiatives which currently focus on the Hayes/West Drayton Corridor just to the north of Heathrow Airport. (See Chapters 10 and 15). The Council will continue to work closely with London Tourist Board (LTB) to take advantage of tourism opportunities where appropriate. Hillingdon's Tourist Attractions 12.5 With the exception of Heathrow Airport, Hillingdon's attractions tend to be of a Borough or West London significance. Many of them provide a destination for day excursions, such as the Colne Valley Park which is accessible at many points to the public and provides a range of facilities for sport and recreation and good habitats for birds and other wildlife. (See Chapter 3). The Borough has numerous lakes and waterways including a 12 mile stretch of the Grand Union Canal providing extensive opportunities for water based recreation and there are also facilities for walking, cycling, riding and golf. Middlesex County Cricket Club plays fixtures at Uxbridge and there is an artificial ski-run at Hillingdon London Borough of Hillingdon Unitary Development Plan
