Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed change from a bed and breakfast business to a single family dwelling on the supply of serviced tourist accommodation in the coastal resort of Clacton

What decided it

The business was not profitable and the chances of it being turned around upon refusal of permission were very small, combined with the site's location outside a prime area for visitor accommodation, outweighing the policy conflict with Policy PP9.
