Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the principle of the proposed change of use is acceptable, having particular regard to any loss of an ancillary use to a public house and its conservation area location
What decided it
The absence of marketing evidence required by Policy DM4.10 to demonstrate that the public house floorspace has no realistic prospect of future use as a public house, combined with the material harm to the conservation area's significance through potential loss of the pub's viability.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM4.10, Policy DM4.11, Appendix 11
