Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development with regard to the loss of an Asset of Community Value (ACV)

What decided it

The extensive marketing of the property over three years at an appropriate value with no substantive evidence of community demand or viability as a public house, combined with the availability of alternative community facilities nearby, demonstrated that the loss of the ACV would not reduce the community's ability to meet its day-to-day needs.

The significant benefits of residential development on previously developed land, including new housing units, economic benefits, and efficient use of land, outweighed the loss of the Asset of Community Value, particularly given the lack of viability and community demand for the public house use

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Saved Policy CF2 of the UDP
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 60Paragraph 93Paragraph 203

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
