CLT6 Hotels

The Council will grant planning permission for proposals which increase and improve hotel accommodation within the district. The preferred locations for hotels are in the district’s town centres and on the designated sites on the Hatfield aerodrome site. Where there are no suitable sites in the town centres, the Council may consider development proposals in edge of centre locations, at district or neighbourhood centres or in areas with high accessibility by public transport. In all cases the Council will only permit proposals for hotels where:

  • There is no harmful impact on the amenities of nearby residential properties and other uses;
  • The development is in keeping with the scale and character of the surrounding area; and
  • The development is easily accessible by passenger transport, walking and cycling.
