The tier sentence ¶24

“undue pressure on local services”

Summary

Conversion of the New Inn pub in Totton into three dwellings, plus two new houses. The appeal was allowed. The marketing report covered only 9–10 months, so the inspector held HC6(1)(a) was not met. HC6(1)(c) was met instead, because other pubs and community halls lie within walking distance, and the scheme complied with local policy DM19.
