Management requirements for short-term let accommodation

Proposals must demonstrate satisfactory management of the accommodation to minimise adverse effects on nearby uses. Formal management plans will be required on a case-by-case basis, typically for larger schemes over 30 units, and can be secured through planning agreements.

Proposals for short-term let accommodation will need to be appropriately managed to minimise the risk of adverse effects on nearby uses. Whilst all proposals must demonstrate the ability to manage accommodation satisfactorily, the requirement for formal management plans will be judged on a case-by-case basis, based on the size of scheme. It is likely, for example, that management plans will be more appropriate for larger purpose built short-term visitor accommodation (e.g. over 30 units), rather than small scale/partial change of use of existing residential dwellings. Where appropriate, s76 planning agreements may be used to secure particular management arrangements proposed.
