Why does a hotel look like a runway?

This sounds like a knock knock joke. Why is a hotel lit up in the vicinity of an airport in such a way that it may be mistaken for a runway? Is there no local authority planning for the arrangement of lighting of buildings near airports. OK vmc conditions were in operation at the time of the incident but had the visibility been marginal it could have happened to any crew.

I hope this long delayed report has caused some head scratching at the local authority if they ever get to read it.

Rant over
