A hotel development in the City Frame Area that incorporates short-term accommodation rooms is properly classified as a 'Hotel' (not 'Short Term Accommodation') where the hotel does not 'entail mainly accommodation', and the phrase 'entails mainly accommodation' is assessed by reference to intensity of use rather than gross floor area. Such a development is subject to the parking maximum in A7.3 (1 space per 200m² GFA), not the rates in A7.2. Non-compliance with an Acceptable Solution does not automatically establish conflict with the relevant Performance Criteria. A court that rejects unanimous expert evidence must give adequate reasons for doing so.
