Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the availability of holiday accommodation and the tourism economy
  • The effect of the development on the character of the area
  • Living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed residential accommodation with regard to private outdoor space
  • Pressures on public open space in the local area

What decided it

The absence of substantive evidence to demonstrate that guest house accommodation is not viable or in no demand, combined with the importance of holiday accommodation to supporting year-round sustainable tourism in the designated Great Yarmouth Seafront Area, outweighed other considerations.
