Decision details

In order to support the visitor economy and encourage local residents to use nearby areas for recreational purposes reducing the need to travel and recreational pressure on the more sensitive parts of the National Park it is considered appropriate to provide opportunities for light refreshments outlets (concessions) to operate. Along with the benefits this would bring to the local economy, climate change and the health and well-being benefits from encouraging walking this initiative would also provide a potential opportunity to create income generation, through the use of NFDC assets which could contribution to funding of projects within the coastal zone.

On 17 March 2022, Cllr Steve Davies, the Portfolio Holder for Environment and Coastal Services made the following decision:

That approval be given to proceed with the award of the two identified concessions for an initial twelve month period.

That the issue of a further concession will be reviewed following the initial 12 month period.

That income from the concessions be used to support future works within the coastal zone.

Any member of the Council, who is not a Portfolio Holder, who considers that this decision should be reviewed should give notice using the call-in facility at the top of this page on the Council’s intranet / extranet site. Alternatively, notice can be given to the Monitoring Officer (Grainne O’Rourke) (in writing or by e-mail) to be received ON OR BY 5.15 pm on 24 March 2022.
