Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the public house is commercially viable
  • whether the effects of carbon emissions can be mitigated in terms of the requirements under the development plan
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwellings

What decided it

The Council's acceptance that the public house is no longer commercially viable, combined with the absence of substantive evidence to justify retention and the finding that living conditions would be acceptable despite minor shortfalls in separation distances, justified allowing the appeal.
