[F12.—(1) A hereditament which is wholly or mainly used in the course of a business for the provision of short-stay accommodation, that is to say accommodation—

(b)which is not self-contained self-catering accommodation provided commercially,

(b)the person intending to provide such accommodation intends to have his sole or main residence within that hereditament throughout any period when such accommodation is to be provided, and that any use of living accommodation within the hereditament which would apart from this sub-paragraph, cause any part of it to be deemed not to be used for the purposes of a private dwelling, will be subsidiary to the use of the hereditament for, or in connection with, his sole or main residence.
(3) A hereditament or self-contained part of a hereditament shall be deemed not to be used for the purposes of a private dwelling if—
(a)the owner or, as the case may be, the occupier of the hereditament intends that, in the year from the day in relation to which the question is being considered, the whole of the hereditament or self-contained part will be available for letting commercially, as self-catering accommodation, for short periods totalling 140 days or more; and
