Tourism SE have undertaken work with local authorities across the SE to better understand supply and demand issues for hotel accommodation. Their purpose has been to ensure LDF policies which take account of specific local circumstances and market demand. We have produced planning guidance on the issue of accommodation retention in response to increasing pressures for hotels to convert to residential (enclosed with letter). This could be an issue for Rother and, if so, should be addressed in the issues document.
