7 Shops, Leisure and Services C. Outside town centres, the council will resist proposals for hotels and other visitor accommodation. D. Applications for major hotel developments will be accompanied by information demonstrating: i) how impacts on residential amenity will be avoided; and ii) arrangements for securing public access to ancillary facilities (e.g. restaurants, conference facilities and gyms). 7.0.45 Given the favourable position of Islington relative to Central London, the borough has the potential to increase its share of the capital's supply of hotels in the plan period. However, while hotels can create jobs and support the visitor economy, it is important to ensure that other planning objectives are met: in particular, securing a balance of supporting uses, and maximising residential amenity. In addition, hotels can have specific traffic impacts that are required to be taken into account. 7.0.46 Town centres are identified as a key location for the provision of new hotels in Islington. Currently, the majority of Islington's supply is located in areas close to central London, but there are particular opportunities for new hotels in town centre locations where major regeneration activities or infrastructure improvements are planned and/or where there is significant potential for mixed use development. However, within all of these areas it is important to ensure that an appropriate level of hotel uses are provided, in order to avoid impacts on residential amenity, and to ensure that hotel uses support the range of retail and services that exist in town centre locations. Policy DM 45 Islington's Cultural, Community and Social Uses A. The council will protect existing community and social facilities by resisting their loss unless: i) an inclusive replacement facility can be provided which meets the needs of the local population; ii) the specific community or social facility is no longer required in its current use. Where this is the case, robust evidence will be required (e.g. Equalities Impact Assessment) to show that the loss would not create or increase a shortfall in provision of the specific community use, and demonstrate that there is no demand for any other suitable community use in its place. B. The council will consider the provision of new cultural and community uses in appropriate locations. 96 Islington Council Development Management Policies - Direction of Travel
7 Shops, Leisure and Services C . New community uses must be: i) located to be convenient and accessible to the community they serve; ii) accessible by a range of transport modes, including walking, cycling and public transport; iii) provided in buildings which are inclusive, accessible, flexible and sited to maximise shared use of the facility. D. To meet identified demand for any new facilities the council will require: i) developments which result in any additional need for community facilities to contribute towards enhancing existing facilities, or providing, or contributing towards new more inclusive facilities; and ii) suitable developments to make accessible room(s) available to local community groups to use or hire at a discounted rate, particularly where development displaces a community facility. E. The provision of theatres and cinemas in Islington is supported. The loss and change of use of theatres and cinemas and former theatres and cinemas to other uses will be resisted. 7.0.47 Community and social uses include a range of different types of premises ranging from community halls to leisure centres (see glossary). 7.0.48 Venues for meetings, social and cultural activities are important for people's quality of life as they provide space for people to meet and socialise. These venues are under pressure from higher land value uses, such as housing. 7.0.49 Culture, Leisure and Arts are important both to the economy and community well being of people who live and work in the borough. Culture and Leisure activities should continue to be encouraged and cultivated both of the local role and contributing factor to London as a world city, and for its economic and social impact on quality of life. A key issue of Islington’s Core Strategy is building on the strengths of the borough as a cultural and arts destination. 7.0.50 There are a number of theatres in Islington, the most famous theatre is Sadler's Wells, now established as an excellent performance venue for dance of all kinds. Although small (300 seats) the Almeida Theatre has developed a world, as well as national, reputation for quality theatre. There is also a large number of pub venues providing a range of performance, from new plays and dance, to live music and comedy. 7.0.51 Planning permission which involves the loss of community and cultural uses, such as community halls and other public meeting venues, theatres, cinemas will only be granted where the applicant can demonstrate no need exists for the use, or its loss was necessary to achieve other planning objectives, and appropriate compensation provided.
