Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed change of use from a public house to apartments would be acceptable, with particular regard to the adequacy of the marketing of the property and the viability of the continued use of the property as a public house

What decided it

The substantive evidence of sustained marketing efforts over an extended period combined with the operational failure of the business under multiple landlords despite significant investment adequately demonstrated that continued operation as a public house was unviable.
