1. The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
2. This permission relates to the conversion of a hotel into twelve holiday flats and two private flats as shown in drawing numbers 00841/1, 00841/2 and 00841/3 date stamped 13th May 2009.
3. The holiday flats hereby approved shall only be used as tourist accommodation lets, not exceeding 3 months in duration, where tourism is defined as set out below in accordance with the provisions of the Strategic Plan and for clarification may not be occupied as a person's main place of residence.
Tourism has been defined by the Tourism Society as "the temporary short term movement of people to destinations outside the places where they normally live and work and their activities during their stay at these destinations" and it covers a very wide range of activities and types of development. This may include travel and visits for business, professional and domestic purposes as well as for holidays and recreation.
Note: For the avoidance of doubt, the holiday flats are located on the first, second and third floors of the buildings.
NOTE For the avoidance of doubt, if the applicant wishes to carry out any external alterations to the building which are in connection with the approved conversion, a separate planning application for those works must be first submitted to and approved by the Planning Authority prior to the commencement of those works.
This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
