Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory standard of holiday accommodation for future occupiers, with particular regard to mix, internal and external space, and privacy
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would provide satisfactory holiday accommodation for visitors in a suitable location (Resort Core) without materially harming neighbouring amenity, and the change from a 10-bedroom hotel to 6 self-contained suites would not generate significantly higher noise or disturbance than the former use.
