Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the vibrancy and vitality of the Primary Shopping Area

What decided it

The units have been vacant for a considerable time with limited prospect of occupation by A1/A3 uses, and bringing them back into commercial use through the proposed adult gaming centre would contribute more to the vibrancy and vitality of the Primary Shopping Area than continued vacancy.
