91 Hotels and Guest Houses in Towns and Large Villages

Proposals for development and upgrading of hotel and guest house accommodation in towns and large villages through new building, extensions to existing facilities or change of use of non-residential buildings will be encouraged subject to environmental, design, traffic and parking considerations.

The scale of hotel and guest house development (and associated activity) must be compatible with its surroundings. As a general guide, large hotels will be appropriate in, or next to town centres and, where acceptable under employment policies, in general employment areas. Small hotels and guest houses will normally be acceptable in residential areas of towns and in large villages.
