Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the standard of accommodation is satisfactory for occupiers of the holiday suites in terms of floorspace, natural light and outlook and whether there is a suitable mix of unit sizes
- Whether alterations should be carried out to reflect the character of the use
- Whether adequate provision would be made for green infrastructure
What decided it
The proposal complies with the majority of relevant policies in the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies as it represents a change between two forms of visitor accommodation within a designated Main Holiday Accommodation Area, with no material considerations outweighing this finding.
