Plan to change Bridlington care home into hotel and holiday lets
A proposal to change a residential care home in Bridlington into a hotel and short-term holiday lets has been submitted to East Riding of Yorkshire Council planners.
The application, for Bridlington Manor on Cardigan Road, “will secure a viable and sustainable future for the property” according to a planning statement
The statement, by Architectural Designed to Build, said: “This planning statement has been prepared in support of an application for the change of use of the property known as 126 Cardigan Road, Bridlington, YO15 3LR from its existing use as a residential care home to a hotel and short-term holiday accommodation use.
“The proposal seeks to secure a viable and sustainable future for the property by bringing the building into productive use as visitor accommodation, thereby contributing to the local tourism economy and supporting the ongoing regeneration and vitality of Bridlington as a coastal destination.
“The application site comprises a substantial detached property located on Cardigan Road within an established residential and tourism area of Bridlington.
“The property is of a scale and layout that lends itself to visitor accommodation, having previously operated as a care facility with multiple bedrooms, communal areas and ancillary facilities.
“The proposed use is not expected to generate materially greater impacts than the lawful use of the premises as a care home.
"The building has historically accommodated multiple residents, staff and visitors on a continuous basis. The proposed hotel and holiday accommodation use is therefore unlikely to result in a significant increase in activity levels beyond those already associated with the existing use.
“The proposed change of use of 126 Cardigan Road, Bridlington, from a care home to a hotel and short-term holiday accommodation represents an appropriate and sustainable form of development.
“The proposal makes effective use of an existing building, supports the local tourism economy, provides additional visitor accommodation and is not expected to give rise to any unacceptable impacts on neighbouring properties or the wider area.”
