Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- the highway network
What decided it
The principle of a hotel use had already been established through the prior grant of planning permission for a 66-bed hotel on the same site, and the proposed development would not introduce a new use or result in an over-concentration of hotel uses in the locality.

- HC1CP30CP31DMD31DM44D4D5D8T6DMD45DMD6DMD8
