Area Plan for the South
large tourism element, such as Douglas Promenade, may be designated for "Residential/ Tourism" use (other potential uses may be identified and incl uded in a mixed designation if appropriate). 9.5.8 The use of existing private residential properties as tourist accommodation may be acceptable if it can be demonstrated that it will not compromise the amenities of any neighbouring residents. In Chapte r 7, there are described the circumstances in which redundant buildings in the countryside can be converted into dwellings. These policies apply equally to tourist use, except that it may very often be possible to convert to tourist use buildings which ar e too small to form a satisfactory permanent dwelling. The following policies and proposal are thus appropriate:
