Why it was refused

  1. The proposed change of use of the Temeside Inn from a public house (sui generis) to a single dwellinghouse would result in the permanent loss of an established community facility which serves the social and economic wellbeing of Little Hereford and the surrounding area. The Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that there is suitable, accessible or equivalent alternative provision available within the locality to meet the needs of the community affected; and it has not been satisfactorily evidenced that the public house is no longer required by the community, nor that it is no longer viable or fit for purpose, having regard to the absence of a recent, robust and comprehensive marketing exercise undertaken at a realistic price and on appropriate terms to demonstrate that its continued use cannot be viably sustained. As such, the proposal would result in unjustified harm to the social infrastructure of the locality and would compromise the community’s ability to meet its day-to-day social and recreational needs. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policy SC1 of the Herefordshire Local Plan – Core Strategy, Policy BLH6 of the Brimfield and Little Hereford Neighbourhood Development Plan, and paragraph 98(c) of the National Planning Policy Framework, which seek to guard against the unnecessary loss of valued community facilities, including public houses.

From the council's decision notice.
