Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal building alone is suitable for hotel use taking into account local and national planning policies

What decided it

The appeal building alone is not suitable for hotel use because it is positioned at the front of an employment-allocated site where industrial use could resume, and there is no evidence of the required marketing campaign to justify release of the employment land.
