The preferred location for hotels is in the borough’s town centres. Where there are no suitable sites in these locations, the council may consider development proposals in edge-of-centre locations or in other areas provided that they are highly accessible by a choice of means of transport. All development proposals on edge and out-of-centre locations, other than those identified in this Plan, will be required to submit evidence of need for development and evidence that the sequential approach has been applied in selecting the site, as outlined in PPS6
