Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the loss of the public house as a community facility would be justified
What decided it
The viability assessments demonstrating that the public house is not economically viable, combined with the availability of alternative community facilities in the local area, justified the loss of the community facility and allowed the appeal to succeed.
