The officer assessed that the additional tourist use of the existing modest terraced dwelling would not cause demonstrable harm, as tourist comings and goings are likely no more apparent than existing…
Strategic Plan paragraph 9.5.8
Requires that use of existing private residential properties as tourist accommodation is acceptable if it does not compromise neighbouring residents' amenities. The officer tested this by assessing potential disruptions from tourists versus permanent residents, concluding similar impacts with no unacceptable harm due to the property's modest size and existing arrangements.
Business Policy 13
Generally permits use of private residential properties as tourist accommodation if neighbour amenities are not compromised. The officer applied this favourably, noting general support for such uses absent harm, and distinguished from rare refusals for flats by emphasising low disruption potential here.
Environment Policy 13
Prohibits development causing unacceptable flood risk on or off-site. Despite the site's flood zone location and consultee objection, the officer found compliance as no physical works, footprint expansion, or use change increases flood risk.
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.
