The 2 hotels employ approximately 260 people. The Erskine Bridge Hotel & Spa has 171 bedrooms plus a restaurant with related function suites and an extensive leisure suite. The restaurant can accommodate around 210 covers while the adjoining function suites have a capacity for some 1050 delegates. Planning permission was granted in March 2008 (Document 2) for an additional 406 car parking spaces. The need for the additional car parking was in relation to the expansion of the appellant’s “Flyout Business”. This consent increased the total number of car parking spaces at the hotel to approximately 760 spaces. The Normandy Hotel has 141 bedrooms plus a restaurant with related function/conference facilities. The restaurant can accommodate around 230 covers while the adjoining function/conference facilities have a capacity for some 1300 delegates. The conferencing facilities are the largest in Renfrewshire and are a huge asset to the area. The total number of approved car parking spaces servicing the hotel is some 315 spaces. Frequently the Normandy Hotel receives complaints as to the lack of parking in relation to the size of the facility. Indeed, the Head of Roads has previously commented that the existing parking provision does not meet demand when a function/event is taking place. The Council’s Parking Standards show that there is currently a shortfall of approximately 130 spaces (not including the need for additional spaces in relation to the expansion of the ‘stay/park/fly’ business). Background With Glasgow International Airport being only 1 mile from the Normandy Hotel and continuing to enjoy significant increases in passenger numbers (606,000 people travelled through the airport in March 2015, representing an increase of 14% on the same period last year) and new routes, a market opportunity has developed for guests going on holiday flying from the airport. The owners of the hotel have created a bespoke package for this client base, whereby they arrive at the hotel a day or two before departure and leave their vehicle at the hotel until they return from holiday. Packages are built around stays at the hotel at both ends of the holiday. This is similar to the “Flyout Business” at the Erskine Bridge Hotel & Spa. This business has helped the hotel survive in what is an increasingly difficult trading environment. The owners of the hotel have also attempted to nurture various segments of business (wedding events, tribute nights and conferencing/functions etc.), with success being achieved in the events business (Document 3). Attached is a brief economic overview covering the period 2010 - 2014 (Document 4). Key points to note include: 1. 127,605 guests visited the hotel in 2013/14. 2. The ‘stay/park/fly’ business is the 3rd largest segment of the business (approx. 15% of covers and 30% of occupancy but contributes over 1/3 of total turnover). 3. The largest segment is private dinner covers (approx. 40%) with tribute night covers the 2nd largest segment (approx. 17%). 4. Without the additional car parking the net loss of approx. £1m from turnover (accommodation, lounge food, lounge liquor, restaurant food and restaurant liquor etc.) would revert the hotel to around £2.6m turnover, which would not only make trading unviable but would also affect the local economy, cash flow to suppliers and negate jobs etc. The application is as a direct result of the continuing shortage of car parking spaces to satisfy guests attending events and staying overnight in the hotel. The Proposal On 27 October 2014 an application for planning permission was submitted to Renfrewshire Council (Ref: 14/0807/PP) for the “alteration and extension to the hotel car park to form additional long stay parking” (Document 5). However, it should be noted that the planning officer changed the description of the development without consulting the applicant (or agent). The description of development was changed to “Formation of airport car parking and associated landscaping.” Circular 3/2013 Development Management Procedures states that descriptions should accurately and adequately convey to the layman what the development involves. In this regard, it is important to note that the application description for the additional 406 car parking spaces at the Erskine Bridge Hotel was “Continued use of open space as an extension to vehicle parking (retrospective) in connection with the Erskine Bridge Hotel”. Furthermore, in his report to committee the planning officer described the proposal as follows: “The site extends to approximately 1.05 hectares and proposes 406 car parking spaces. This is a retrospective planning application as the owners currently park vehicles on the site and have been doing so for some considerable time. The applicant has advised that the need for this parking is in relation to the expansion of their “Flyout Business”. This consists of overnight accommodation at the hotel along with long stay car parking and transport to and from the airport.” Describing the additional long stay car parking as “airport car parking” perhaps does not convey to the layman what the development fully involves. The Reasons For Refusal The planning application was refused on 23 March 2015 for the following reasons, as detailed in the decision notice (Document 6): 1. The proposed additional parking in the hotel grounds is considered contrary to Policy E3 (Figure 9) of the Adopted Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2014 and does not comply with the criteria for suitable new development as defined within the New Development Supplementary Guidance on Transition Areas. 2. The proposal would result in the formation of a substantial area of car parking, disproportionate to the existing hotel use, which neither enhances nor preserves the visual amenity of the area resulting in a detrimental impact upon the amenity of the application site and the wider area at this riverside location. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy E3 ‘Transition Areas’ and Policy E4 ‘Tourism’ and the New Development Supplementary Guidance on Transition Areas, and on ‘Tourist Accommodation Facilities’ of the adopted Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2014. 3. The proposal is not considered to be an appropriate use for this location and would not support the comprehensive regeneration of the application site or wider transition areas as identified in Policy E3 (Figure 9) of the adopted Renfrewshire Local Plan 2014. With regard to reason 1, the following is noted: ¾ within the current adopted Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2014 (LDP), the land use designation of the site was changed from Greenbelt to Policy E3 – Transition Areas. The policy requires that the development of these areas is compatible with the surrounding area ensuring that there is no adverse impact upon existing uses and that the developments enable the regeneration of these areas facilitating the regeneration of the Blythswood Retail Park and industrial areas at Meadowside Street, including the application site. Figure 9 outlines potential uses for the Transition Areas. ¾ Transition Areas are areas where change is anticipated and encouraged. ¾ it is accepted that the proposed use (additional long stay car parking) is not listed as a potential use in Figure 9 of the LDP. However, in his handling report the planning officer accepts that the hotel itself is an acceptable use (a ‘leisure use’) and that the proposal is within the hotel grounds. ¾ the proposed car park is related to the hotel, which is an acceptable use defined in Figure 9 of the LDP. ¾ the need for the additional car parking is in relation to the expansion of the ‘stay/park/fly’ business and the shortage of car parking spaces to satisfy guests attending events and staying overnight in the hotel. ¾ in term of the criteria for suitable new development as defined within the New Development Supplementary Guidance on Transition Areas, the application site is located on land to the rear of the hotel which previously formed a driving range associated with the hotel and also part of the existing car parking area servicing the hotel. Vehicular access to the site would be provided from within the existing hotel car park. With regard to point 2, the following is noted: ¾ it is not unusual for a car park to be located in close proximity to a hotel and there is clearly demand for the extra parking as demonstrated by the informal use of the area for a number of years. It should be remembered that planning permission was granted in March 2008 for a further 406 long stay car parking spaces at the Erskine Bridge Hotel & Spa, bringing the total number of parking spaces to approximately 760. The total number of approved spaces servicing the Normandy Hotel is only 315, not including the unauthorised car parking. ¾ it is also important to state that the additional car parking, while providing a ‘stay/park/fly’ facility, will also be used to support the functioning of the hotel during functions and events and that the parking will not solely be used in relation to guests using the airport. ¾ the construction of additional car parking would not be visually inappropriate or harmful within the context of the surrounding development. It is not unusual for a car park to be located in close proximity to a hotel. The attached photographs (Document 7) clearly show that the site is well screened and any impact could be mitigated by attaching a condition requiring a landscape scheme which could specifically address the landscaping between the riverside walkway and car park. ¾ Policy E4 outlines several criteria where the development of tourist facilities will be supported. It is noted that the planning officer accepts that the “applicants are able to justify a site locational need for the development given the close proximity to the airport and that the development is associated with an existing hotel.” In respect of the remaining criteria it is our opinion that the scale of the development is proportionate to the existing hotel operation (refer to economic growth statement). It is also similar in scale to the approved “Flyout Business” car park at the Erskine Bridge Hotel & Spa. The proposal also fits in well with the location - expansion of an existing car park on a well screened site within the curtilage and land ownership of the Normandy Hotel. ¾ regarding the New Development Supplementary Guidance on Tourism, it is noted that the planning officer accepts that the proposal accords with criteria 3, 4, 5 and 9. It is our opinion that the proposal also accords with the following criteria: Criteria 1 (contribution to the local economy with a social and/or cultural benefit to the area) - refer to Document 8 which details the various social and cultural activities which the hotel provides as a consequence of the improved trading environment. Criteria 2 (does not result in a significant impact on visual amenity and local landscape character) - expansion of an existing car park on a well screened landlocked site in the hotel grounds (also refer to Document 7 which shows that the site is well screened). Criteria 7 (scale, positioning and location of development) – similar scale to ‘Flyout Business’ car park at the Erskine Bridge Hotel & Spa. The planning officer also accepts that the applicants are able to justify a site locational need for the development given the close proximity to the airport and that the development is associated with an existing hotel; and Criteria 8 (loss of open space) - this is addressed below. With regard to point 3, the following is noted: ¾ although adjacent to a riverside walkway, the site is not public open space and is not identified on the local plan proposals map as either formal or informal space. The land is allocated for development and any assessment needs to be made in that context. ¾ the construction of additional car parking on a landlocked site within the curtilage of the hotel is not piecemeal development and will not adversely affect the long term comprehensive regeneration of the Blythswood Retail Park and surrounding area. Indeed, should the appeal not be upheld the viability of the hotel would be in doubt and the direct impact would see the loss of a significant number of jobs (at both hotels). ¾ the submitted supporting economic statement (Document 4) identifies that the hotel has seen an increase in both occupancy levels and turnover since 2010 and that the ‘stay/park/fly’ business accounts for some 30% of the occupancy of the hotel and over one third of the total hotel turnover. It is an essential part of the business. ¾ the proposed development will result in employment creation and bring economic benefit to the area. Conclusion Section 25 of the Town & Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 as Amended by the Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006 requires planning authorities to determine applications for planning permission in accordance with the prevailing development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The hotel, which holds a full service offering, requires more parking than a limited service hotel and the growth in ‘stay/park/fly’ since 2008 has been able to allow the hotel to grow profitability and support significant new employment (both directly and indirectly). The Head of Roads accepts that there is an under provision of car parking at the hotel. The hotel is an important local amenity and a tourist attraction (approximately 128,000 guests visited the hotel in 2013/14) that contributes towards the local economy. It also provides support facilities for local businesses thus increasing the attractiveness of the area for economic development. Without the additional car parking the net loss of £1m from turnover would revert the hotel to around £2.6m turnover, which would not only make trading unviable but would also affect the local community, cash flow to local suppliers and negate jobs etc. The refusal of application 14/0807/PP was both unreasonable and unjustified. The appellants therefore respectfully request that the current appeal should be upheld and that planning permission should be granted for the proposed development.

Page9of9 Supporting Statement Alteration and Extension to Hotel Car Park to Form Additional Long Stay Parking Normandy Hotel, Inchinnan Road, Renfrew PA4 9EJ Cosmopolitan Hotels Ltd, Surrey 100 Ltd & Jasminder Purewal Prepared By Colin Campbell, CCC Planning Consultancy October 2014 Introduction In support of our application for the alteration and extension of the hotel car park to form additional long stay parking, we would offer this document by way of support to the application in order for the Council to have a complete and informed understanding as to the rationale behind the application. The application is as a direct result of the continuing shortage of car parking spaces to satisfy guests attending events and staying overnight in the hotel - together with revenue opportunities available should additional parking be available for use. Hotel Facilities The hotel boasts 141 bedrooms and has conference facilities for up to 1,000 delegates notwithstanding further conference / event facilities for a further 300 guests. The restaurant has an operating capacity of 230 persons. These facilities are the largest in Renfrewshire and are a huge asset to the area. Frequently the hotel receives complaints as to the lack of parking in relation to the size of the facility and the unique selling point of free parking for guests and delegates. The hotel currently has 315 car parking spaces for hotel residents. Marketing Opportunities With Glasgow International Airport being only one mile from the hotel and its continued growth in passengers and routes annually a market opportunity has developed for guests going on holiday flying from Glasgow Airport. The owners of the hotel have created a bespoke package for this client base, whereby they arrive at the hotel a day or two before flight departure and leave their vehicle at the hotel until they return from holiday. Packages are built around stays at the hotel at both ends of the holiday. This has developed into a niche market and has continued to grow over the last 4 years as the airport has developed with associated revenue gains to the wider Renfrewshire area. This business has helped the hotel survive in what is an increasingly difficult trading environment. The owners of the hotel have also attempted to nurture various segments of business (wedding events, tribute nights and conferencing/functions etc.), with success being achieved in the events business. Attached herewith in support of the application is a brief economic overview (covering the period 2010 – 2014). Medium/Long Term Vision The owners of the hotel are continuing to develop opportunities and following the recent refurbishment of all the bedrooms are increasingly developing the conferencing and tourism related segments. With the availability of the golf driving range site (not now used) for hotel parking further business opportunities would become available to the hotel thus creating long term sustainability for the hotel and its employees. It is anticipated that the ‘park-stay-fly’ business will continue to grow over the coming years and through efforts to consolidate other avenues and segments will go some way towards achieving long term sustainability for the business.
