The owners of a North Laine holiday let have lost their appeal after being refused planning permission by Brighton and Hove City Council. In March, council planning officials refused the application for the house to operate as a holiday let as it would result in the loss of a residential home. The appeal said the council has registered the address as a commercial holiday let for business rate purposes and removed council tax charges in August 2024. Another successful appeal to allow a holiday let in Marlborough Mews, Brighton, was submitted as an example of a house being allowed to be used as a holiday let by the planning inspectorate. A supporting letter from holiday let company Host and Stay said there had been no complaints about the property and guests are monitored.
