Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the vitality and viability of Hammersmith Town Centre

What decided it

The evidence demonstrates that retail uses remain dominant in Hammersmith Town Centre with low vacancy rates, and there is no substantive evidence that the addition of a single adult gaming centre would adversely affect the retail function or vitality and viability of the town centre.

The benefits of bringing a vacant unit back into viable use, creating active frontages, generating local employment, and contributing to town centre regeneration outweighed the loss of a retail unit in a non-prime retail frontage area where retail dominance is maintained.
