CF8 Hotels
The Council will ensure that the visitor economy is supported through appropriate hotel provision.
To deliver this the Council will:
- protect hotels and hotel bedrooms across the borough;
- require new hotels to be located within, or immediately adjoining, the borough’s higher order town centres, and in particular Knightsbridge, South Kensington, Kensington High Street, King’s Road (East), Brompton Cross and Notting Hill Gate, within the Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre site allocation; close to major tourist attractions; in areas which enjoy excellent links to Central London; or within other areas where the new hotel would support the function of the area;
- encourage the upgrading and expansion of existing hotels where:
- this will assist in maintaining the vitality of the centre;
- this will not result in the loss of any residential accommodation;
- there will be no unacceptable harm to amenity or to the residential character of an area.
