Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that removing condition 21 would have on the quality of guest accommodation at the premises, with particular reference to outlook, daylight/sunlight and privacy
- The effect that removing condition 21 would have on highway safety, with particular reference to parking and the use of alternative modes of transport other than the motor vehicle
What decided it
The condition restricting length of stay to 30 days was not necessary to ensure the hotel use operated as approved, since the permission itself properly defined the development as a hotel use under Class C1, and removing it would not materially harm accommodation quality or highway safety.
