space, recreation space, bar and restaurant areas. This has not been done. The proposal is
therefore significantly inefficient in planning terms. The effect of this inefficiency will be to
put pressure on to either reduce the size of non-income producing areas or to increase the
number of rooms in order to sustain the scale of these facilities. Indeed, the wing of rooms
deleted being double loaded hotel rooms is an extremely efficient form. Its deletion has
increased the proportion of single loaded corridors.

I believe that if the application were to be approved, it would not be constructed in the
approved from. It is likely that following applications would seek to either increase the
number of rooms or reduce facilities in order to achieve economic viability.

equipment. These are included for overall efficiency calculation.
