Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development results in an unacceptable loss of specialist accommodation
  • Whether the appeal property is in an appropriate location for visitor accommodation
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the residents of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The development conflicts with the development plan on three material grounds—loss of specialist accommodation, inappropriate location for visitor accommodation, and unacceptable harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions—and there are no other considerations to warrant taking a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.
