The officer assessed the proposal against Strategic Policy 8 (Tourist Policy 8, referred to as TP8) and Business Policy 13 (BP13), which permit tourist accommodation in existing residential properties…
Transport Policy 8
TP8 permits tourist proposals using existing built fabric of interest and quality, provided they do not adversely affect environmental, agricultural, or highway interests and enable enjoyment of attractions. The officer found the proposal acceptable as it reuses the existing dwelling with no changes, no adverse impacts identified, and good location near attractions.
Business Policy 13
BP13 allows use of private residential properties as tourist accommodation if it does not compromise neighbouring residents' amenities. The key test was neighbour amenity; satisfied as no immediate neighbours exist to be affected.

The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
