Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The viability of the Holly Bush Inn Public House.
  • The living conditions of any potential occupier of the "Managers Flat"
  • Nearby Listed Buildings and their settings; and
  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bartington Conservation Area.

What decided it

The Inspector found no material harm arising from the proposal on any of the four main issues (pub viability, living conditions, listed building settings, and conservation area character), so there was no conflict with the development plan justifying refusal.
