Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not there is sufficient justification for the change of use of the public house to a Class E use, and its effect on the vitality and viability of established town centres
- Whether or not the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether any harm would be caused to its significance
- Whether or not the proposal would make adequate provision for cycle parking
- Whether or not the proposal would make adequate provision for protected species
- Whether or not the development would achieve the highest standards of fire safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building that could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits, combined with inadequate justification for the loss of the public house use and failure to comply with sequential test and cycle parking requirements.
