Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed change of use would result in the unjustified loss of a local community facility

What decided it

The appellant demonstrated through robust marketing and the Asset of Community Value process that the building is no longer viable as a public house or any other community use, satisfying the requirements of Policy CS22 and Policy C2 to permit the loss of the facility.

The substantial benefits of delivering housing to address the acknowledged shortfall in supply, with associated economic benefits from construction, outweighed the limited harm from loss of the public house, which had not functioned as a community facility for 11 years and was not viable to restore.
