Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary having regard to the standard of accommodation in terms of room size and amenity space
What decided it
The unsuitability of the rooms for unrestricted occupation due to their limited floor area and lack of private amenity space, combined with the necessity of the condition to distinguish between short-term hotel use and permanent residential use, outweighs the unquantified and unsubstantiated economic benefits claimed.
