DME 4 Visitor accommodation

1.

Proposals for new visitor accommodation will be supported where they accord with Policy DME 3, and where they meet the following criteria:

  • accord with principal land uses and not compromise regeneration visions (see the Local Plan Place Policies in Chapter 3)
  • the size, scale and nature of the proposal is proportionate to its location
  • it does not create an over-concentration of such accommodation, taking account of other proposals and unimplemented consents in the local area
  • it does not have significant adverse impact on surrounding amenity or local character.

2.

Applications for serviced apartments must demonstrate that they meet the criteria stated in Part (1) of this policy and will be managed appropriately as short-term accommodation (i.e. accommodation for up to 90 days in any 365 day period).
