This seems unnecessarily restrictive in an area Rutland is expanding in (Tourism, Farm diversification) encouraging people to holiday in the UK reduces carbon footprint from overseas holidays and brings revenue into the area. Tourism brings approximately £160 million in revenue into Rutland, and presumably this makes it one of the biggest industries and it should be supported appropriately. Campsites and Lodge accommodation are entry level investments enabling farm diversity etc and should be encouraged.

I don't see why you would make the criteria so different for self-serviced accommodation - what is wrong with your proposals above 'E8'.
Why don't you make mention of the same a-f in E8?

Policy is overly restrictive requiring them to be relate to existing settlements. Suggest that criterion (a) be removed.

To broad an objective how does it sit within the tourism strategy??? do we want to grab anything that is seen as tourism or do we understand what we want. This group is low down in the pecking order in terms of long term economic benefit the spend profile is low( we always bring our food with us from our local supermarket)

Respondent: The Burley Estate
Agent: Savills
Although the Estate overall SUPPORTS the inclusion of a policy for holiday accommodation within the
emerging local plan, we have wish to make COMMENTS regarding the lack of reference to change of use of
accommodation. We SUPPORT the reference in the policy to:
“… Where planning permission is granted for this type of development, planning conditions and/or legal
agreement will be used to prevent the accommodation being used as a permanent residence.”
but consider that the policy should permit / encourage for the conversion of residential accommodation into
holiday lets subject to meeting the necessary criteria including not impacting on the amenity of neighbouring
properties.
Therefore, we suggest the following addition to Policy E9:
“Where planning permission is sought for the conversion of residential development to holiday accommodation,
there will be a presumption in favour of the change of use, subject to potential impact on the amenity of
neighbouring properties.”

Wording is ambiguous-”In areas outside Rutland Water Area” implies that inside the RWA the conditions which are then set out do not apply.

Anglian Water supports Policy E9 on holiday accommodation and its provision in proximity to Rutland Water. We welcome the positive clarity that the identification of three areas in Policy EN10 provides on the preferred future location of holiday accommodation.
