- Thompson P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the reduction in the extent of the public house garden, the proximity of the proposed dwelling, and the requirement to provide acceptable living conditions in respect of noise for its future occupiers would prejudice the financial viability and function of the public house
- Whether safe and suitable access can be provided to serve the proposed development
What decided it
The absence of clear and robust evidence demonstrating material harm to the public house's viability or function, combined with acceptable acoustic mitigation and safe access arrangements, outweighed the Council's concerns.
