Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the provision of community facilities in the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable private and secure access to the residential accommodation on the upper floor of the building
- Whether the submitted drawings provide sufficient detail to enable the proposed development to be assessed
What decided it
The public house was not established as a valuable community facility by the local community, and the loss would not significantly harm community facility provision given the availability of alternative venues in the area.
