Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the vitality and viability of Edgware town centre
  • whether the proposal would be likely to increase opportunities for crime, disorder and antisocial behaviour (ASB) in Edgware town centre
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise

What decided it

The appellant's acceptance of restricted opening hours (closing at 2am instead of 24 hours) combined with noise mitigation measures and Secured by Design Accreditation conditions resolved all three main issues and rendered the proposal acceptable.
