Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed change of use would be acceptable having regard to relevant planning policies including in relation to public houses and the effect of the proposal on the Central Activities Zone, the Bunhill and Clerkenwell Key Area, the Employment Priority Area and the Charterhouse Square Conservation Area
What decided it
The existing use was determined to be a drinking establishment rather than a public house lacking heritage, cultural or social value, and the flexible Class E use would contribute positively to the area's mixed-use character and vitality, outweighing any policy conflict.
