Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there would be compliance with local and national policies that seek to protect existing community facilities
- Whether the works preserve the Grade II listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
What decided it
For Appeal A: the existence of alternative retail provision in the village and absence of evidence of realistic commercial prospects for the site outweighed the loss of the community facility. For Appeal B: the lack of adequate drawings, specifications and details describing the works undertaken to the historic fabric of the Grade II listed building prevented proper assessment of harm to its significance.
