P8 Development Management
Any hotel proposal must mitigate the development’s impact on the existing dynamics of the residential, business and social communities. The following objectives will be supported:
- Provide as much retail frontage as possible to a high street, where the units made available only have high street access.
- Provide space that is beneficial and available to the wider community such as ‘incubator space’, screening room, community meeting and function rooms, fitness suites and swimming pools.
- Where possible any ‘in-house’ food and beverage offer should be limited (minibars, bars, restaurants and cafes closed to the public) so that hotel guests are encouraged to use local traders.
- Developments should continue to engage with local recruitment mechanisms to ensure local candidates are employed wherever possible.
