Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- whether the development would provide satisfactory accommodation for its occupiers
- whether the design of the development would be accessible to a range of users
What decided it
The commercial location of the property within Breck Road District Centre with adequate separation from residential uses meant the hotel use would not give rise to unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, which was the primary concern.

- Policy UD2Policy R1Policy H10Policy UD4
