Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether this is a suitable location for new visitor accommodation
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with specific regard to noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, which includes the North Promenade Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal does not lie within a defined Holiday Accommodation Area and the appellant has not provided exceptional circumstances to justify new visitor accommodation outside these areas, contrary to Local Plan Policies CS21 and CS23.

Plan policies cited: CS21, CS23, CS7, CS8, BH3, LQ1, LQ10, LQ14
