In a decision notice, published last month, inspector Jonathan Price stated that a pub such as the Wheelwright s Arms might continue to function as a community facility, fostering personal contact between groups and individuals and generating community spirit and a sense of place .
The inspector accepted that the business has become increasingly less profitable in recent years and faces strong competition from other bars in Gorleston, but that evidence of unsuccessful marketing of the property as a pub, over a reasonable period, would be necessary before reaching any conclusion on the acceptability of an unconditional residential use. In the absence of such a period of unfruitful marketing, I consider that the contested condition remains both reasonable and necessary to prevent the permanent loss of a potentially viable community facility in this area, Mr Price said.

An education centre established during last year s lockdown has made a desperate plea for funds in a bid to stay open.
The directors of Horizon Community Training Centre, on Hall Quay in Great Yarmouth, have said the facility could close before it even gets the chance to properly operate.
The centre, founded by Mark Shanahan in March last year, hopes to provide training for young people not in mainstream education and students with behavioural and emotional difficulties who have dropped out of school.
