| 1. | There is no information submitted in support of the application to seek to comply with policy CS8 of the adopted Core Strategy. The proposed development does not demonstrate or evidence that there will be any improvement in the existing holiday accommodation and as such the loss of holiday accommodation in an area designated as a prime holiday accommodation area is contrary to policy CS8 b) of the adopted Core Strategy and saved policy TR11 of the Borough Wide Local Plan. There has been no evidence submitted in support of the application to demonstrate the viability of the current holiday accommodation and therefore Policy CS8 b) has not been complied with. |
| 2. | The change of use of holiday accommodation within designated holiday accommodation areas is not permitted under policy TR4, saved policy of the Borough Wide Local Plan. The loss of holiday accommodation within designated prime holiday accommodation areas would damage the tourism offering and vitality of the area by creating sections of residential frontage breaking up the holiday uses. The loss of holiday accommodation at points nearest the tourist attractions and the main commercial areas of Marine Parade and Regent Road decreases the accessibility and permeability for persons on holiday. By reducing the availability of accommodation the existing key attractions could see a reduced footfall contrary to policy CS8 of adopted Core Strategy. The loss of holiday frontage and decreased offering of close by accommodation not only detracts from the variety of visitor stock but also damages the character of the area. |
| 3. | There is inadequate information submitted as part of the application to demonstrate that there will not be any environmental and amenity problems arising from flooding should the development be carried out. In the absence of evidence to demonstrate that flooding will not be increased elsewhere the application is contrary to paragraph 103 of the NPPF and policy CS13 of the adopted Core Strategy. The use of the land as residential and includes sleeping accommodation on the ground floor. |
| 4. | STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: In accordance with the NPPF, in determining this application for planning permission, the Borough Council has approached it in a positive and proactive way and where possible has sought solutions to problems to achieve the aim of approving sustainable development. Unfortunately, despite this, in this particular case the development is not considered to represent sustainable or an acceptable form of development and has been refused for the reasons set out above.
