Description
Epping Forest District Council (EFDC) is seeking to commission suitably qualified consultants with a demonstrable track record to undertake an assessment of visitor accommodation needs within Epping Forest District in order to understand whether there will be a need for additional stock over the next 15-20 years. The assessment should address all types of visitor accommodation, including serviced (hotels, pub accommodation and guest house/B&Bs) and non-serviced accommodation (apart-hotels, self-catering, touring caravan and camping sites, newer luxury camping concepts, moorings, youth hostel and group accommodation).
The main driver for this work is the preparation of the new Local Plan for the District and the study will form a key part of the evidence base helping to inform tourism policies in the Local Plan. The current timetable for the new Local Plan proposes consultation on a draft plan in autumn 2016, with submission to the Planning Inspectorate for examination in mid-2017 and adoption of the Plan in 2018. There is a keen interest in growing the visitor economy locally and therefore EFDC is approaching this needs assessment in a holistic manner, recognising for instance that beyond planning policy, the study has the scope to inform broader interventions within the Council. This might, for instance, be through the Economic and Tourism Development Teams or even in relation to the future use of the Councilâs own assets. There is also scope for the assessmentâs findings to help inform Development Managementâs decisions up until the adoption of the emerging Local Plan.
