Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the intensification of the hotel use on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers having regard to loss of privacy and noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the proposed side/rear extension on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
  • Whether the development meets the requirements for accessible serviced accommodation
  • The effect of the proposed side/rear extension on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers in Sinclair Court

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through intensification of hotel use, visual dominance, loss of light and outlook, and unacceptable loss of privacy, contrary to the development plan policies and the Framework.

Framework references: 87, 130

Plan policies cited: Policy E10, Policy D3, Policy D5, Policy 8, Policy 37, Policy 88
