flag Owners won appeal to keep former pub in Sharow as a private home, citing four years of continuous residence.

flag The owners of the former Half Moon Inn in Sharow, North Yorkshire, won a planning appeal against a 2024 enforcement notice requiring the building to revert to pub use. flag The Planning Inspectorate ruled the property had been continuously used as a private residence since at least November 2019, meeting the four-year threshold under planning law that prevents enforcement. flag Evidence included sworn statements, photos, and records showing the building functioned as a single home. flag The decision blocks the council’s attempt to restore pub use, a move the owners called financially impractical. flag A new residential conversion application has been submitted. flag A local group continues advocating for the pub’s reopening, citing community support.
