Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether Condition 2 is reasonable and necessary, having regard to the effect of the proposal on the health and wellbeing of residents of Camden, including vulnerable residents
- whether Condition 2 is reasonable and necessary, having regard to the fear of crime, crime, and disorder
What decided it
The absence of compelling evidence that the additional six hours of opening would materially increase harm to health, wellbeing or crime/disorder beyond the levels already experienced under the existing 18-hour operation.
The limited or absent evidence of additional harm from extended hours, together with benefits such as improved surveillance, lighting and the premises' safe haven role, outweighed the Council's concerns, leading to the appeal being allowed.
