Sandhu v South Oxfordshire District Council & Anor [2020] UKFTT CR-2019-0008 (GRC) (16 December 2020)

The evidence demonstrates that The White Lion was used in the recent past to further the social wellbeing or interests of the local community, and it is realistic to think that within the next five years it could again be used for such purposes; both statutory conditions under s.88(2) Localism Act 2011 are satisfied.
