Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the key centre for Bourton-On-The-Water and whether it would be acceptable in light of policy EC8 of the Cotswold District Local Plan 2018

What decided it

The proposal involves a change from one main town centre use (cafe) to another (holiday accommodation), which is permissible under policy EC8 provided it complements the retail offer, and the restriction to holiday use ensures it functions as a tourism development that will support the vitality of the key centre.
