Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the change of use on the provision of holiday accommodation and Blackpool's tourism offer
- Whether occupiers and future occupiers of flats 3 and 5 benefit from an adequate standard of living accommodation
What decided it
The loss of holiday accommodation in a safeguarded Main Holiday Accommodation Area without exceptional circumstances, combined with the failure to meet residential space standards, outweighs the personal circumstances of the current occupiers.
