Policy 23 Public Houses
The loss of public houses will be resisted by the Council except where:
- there is an alternative public house within a 500 metre walking distance of the site and, if the public house is located within a local parade or shopping centre, the diverse offer of that parade or centre is not significantly affected by the loss, and,
- where it can be demonstrated that the business is no longer financially viable as a public house, including the submission of evidence of active marketing as a pub for a substantial period of time
Where the above criteria are met any change of use must be sympathetic to the design, character and heritage value original building if it is considered to be a positive contribution to local character.
