Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the vitality and viability of the town centre
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents in respect of noise and disturbance

What decided it

The imposition of conditions controlling operating hours (09:00-23:00) and requiring implementation of noise mitigation measures, combined with the finding that the proposal would activate a vacant unit and not create an over-concentration of gambling uses, justified allowing the appeal.
