At the hearing, applicant John Hickinbottom said that the derelict pub currently has structural issues and repair works were needed to the internal floors, walls and chimney structures. Two further estimates for the repairs were £75,000 and between £100,000 to £135,000 to return the public house to a condition where it could trade.
“Moreover, the cost of such works should be reflected in the marketing guide price, which may then generate interest from viable businesses.” The planning inspector said: “A range of offers were received over the periods of marketing, although these did not progress for a number of reasons including not meeting the appellant’s expectations in terms of value, and interested parties not wishing to proceed on the basis of the existing use.
Mr Hickinbottom claimed that there was an alternative provision provided on a Friday night by the village hall.
