Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the provision of leisure and recreational facilities in the local area

What decided it

the loss of the leisure and recreational facility, weighed against the appellant's other matters (employment, alternative socialising needs), was found not to be outweighed by those other considerations
