D.TC6 Short-stay accommodation
1) Development of visitor accommodation will be supported in locations within the Central Activities Zone, Canary Wharf Major Centre, Tower Hamlets Activity Areas and District Centres (as shown on the Policies Map) or along primary routes where adjacent to transport interchanges, providing:
- 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 compromise the supply of land for new homes (in accordance with our housing trajectory) or jobs and our ability to meet the borough’s housing and employment targets, and
- the applicant can demonstrate adequate access and servicing arrangements appropriate to the scale, nature and location of the proposal.
Applications for serviced apartments must demonstrate that they meet the criteria stated in Part 1 above and will be managed appropriately as short-term accommodation (up to 90 days).
