Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would result in the unjustified loss of a valued local community facility.

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that the Gardeners Inn was no longer viable as a public house and that there was no suitable alternative provision to meet the community's needs.

The limited benefits of housing delivery and economic activity were outweighed by the significant weight given to the conflict with the development plan and Framework arising from the unjustified and permanent loss of a valued community facility
