Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there would be likely to be a significant effect on the internationally important features of the Solent protected sites, in combination with other plans and projects
- Whether the proposal would result in the loss of an essential facility
- The effect of the proposal upon the significance of the grade II listed building known as The Red House Public House, and the character and appearance of the Whitchurch Conservation Area
What decided it
The significant public benefits of securing a new viable use for the building and ensuring its repair and renovation outweighed the modest less-than-substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area.
