I have been a Chair person of two buildings over the last 10 years and watched the Serviced aapartments grow by stealth in Docklands controlled by govt without any rights to appeal any issues yet alone this one.As the numbers grow so does the security reports of breaches increase especially over weekends. Its not just the issue that some have absolutely no control over their apartment guests but that all owners foot the bill for their profit. They are running a very lucrative business as everyone's expense . Cleaning trolleys and guests with suitcases take over the building on Mondays and Fridays.How is it that Hotels are expected to build to different complaince regulations than code residential but no one can give a difinative number as to when a building actually becomes a Hotel? This is a chaep way of doing business and in our building the developer runs their own Serviced apartment business under the banner of Mercure. Will it take a major disaster for the Govt to get it right and change the planning laws and stop this stupidity?
