Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the loss of the use of the building as a public house would have any significant adverse impact on the cultural, social leisure and recreation needs of the local community
- Whether there would be any adverse impact on highway safety
- Whether there would be any unacceptable impact on the living conditions of the occupier of 48 High Street with regard to privacy arising from the proposed balcony to the rear elevation
What decided it
The availability of equivalent alternative community facilities nearby satisfied the policy test for loss of a public house, and the modest scale of residential use would not create unacceptable impacts on highway safety or neighbouring living conditions.
Plan policies cited: Policy TI2, Policy TI1, Policy SD3, Policy SD8
