The officer considered the fundamental issues to be the impact on neighbouring living conditions and local amenity from the additional tourist use.
Business Policy 13
Business Policy 13 states permission will generally be given for the use of private residential properties as tourist accommodation providing it would not compromise neighbouring residents' amenities. The officer applied this by assessing potential disruptions from tourist behaviour versus permanent residents, concluding no greater impact due to site layout and parking. This tipped the balance in favour as no harm was demonstrated.
