苏格兰批准将一家前商店改建为39张床位的短期旅馆,压倒当地反对。 Scotland approves repurposing a former store into a 39-bed short-term hotel, overriding local objections.

苏格兰政府批准了计划,将Bathgate的一家前农场食品商店改为39张床位的短期出租旅馆,扭转了西罗斯安会先前的拒绝态度。 The Scottish Government has approved plans to convert a former Farmfoods store in Bathgate into a 39-bed short-term let hotel, reversing a prior rejection by West Lothian Council. 理事会对房间狭小、工作人员设施不足以及对短期住房供过于求的关切表示反对,但规划和环境上诉司裁定这些问题不属于规划政策的范围。 The council had objected over small room sizes, inadequate staff facilities, and concerns about oversupply of short-term accommodation, but the Division of Planning and Environmental Appeals ruled these issues fall outside planning policy. DPEA没有发现超额供应的证据,并注意到政策没有限制游客的住宿。 The DPEA found no evidence of over-provision and noted policies do not cap visitor accommodations. 该决定结束了申诉程序,支持一种日益增长的趋势,即在西洛斯安省为短期租借而重新修建以前的办公大楼。 The decision, which ends the appeal process, supports a growing trend of repurposing former office buildings for short-term lets in West Lothian.
