Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the alleged mixed use results in an unacceptable loss of a retail unit and/or a break in the continuity of the primary retail frontage
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to odour and noise
What decided it
The revised Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 2020 fundamentally changed the planning position by bringing nail bars, cafés and retail within the broad Class E, meaning the loss of the retail unit and break in retail frontage occurred without requiring planning permission, and the mixed use positively contributes to the vitality and viability of Camden Passage town centre.
