Requirement to retain self-catering units in tourism use
Approved self-catering units must remain in tourism use and not be converted to permanent residential accommodation, ensuring tourist accommodation availability and preventing unauthorized residential use.
The requirement for approved self catering units to be retained in tourism use and not used for permanent residential accommodation will seek to ensure that tourist accommodation is available to benefit local communities in rural areas and that the unauthorised use of approved tourist accommodation as a private dwelling(s) does not occur.
