On every site
- Roads and traffic
- Distance to a motorway and to an A road, and the daily traffic count on the road where the Department for Transport counts it.
- Shape and ground
- Width at the widest point, how compact the plot is, its slope and the share in each flood zone.
- The town it serves
- The population of the built-up area, and spare demand capacity at the nearest primary substation.
Why these rules
About 80 rooms on four storeys with parking for 60% of rooms needs 0.2 to 0.3 ha (hotel operators' requirements). A hotel is a main town centre use, so outside a centre the sequential test applies (NPPF, August 2026, TC3), and a more vulnerable use for flood risk (Annex F). Woodland is left out.
