The officer considered the fundamental issues to be the impact on neighbouring living conditions and local amenity from additional tourist use.
Business Policy 13
Requires that permission for tourist accommodation in private residential properties will generally be given if it does not compromise neighbouring amenities. The officer tested the proposal against this by assessing impacts from shared access, parking, and tourist behaviour, concluding no significant difference from residential use and thus no harm to amenities.
Strategic Plan paragraph 9.5.8
States that use of existing private residential properties as tourist accommodation may be acceptable if it does not compromise neighbouring residents' amenities. The officer applied this directly, finding the proposal compliant due to minimal changes in activity levels and adequate parking.
Time limit
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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
