Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal upon the health and vitality of Palmers Green District Centre including whether the proposal would result in an over-concentration of gambling uses in the area
- The effects of the proposal upon community cohesion with particular regard to its effects upon crime and anti-social behaviour in the area
- The effects of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, including its effects upon the locally listed 315-397 Green Lanes (the Sykes Buildings)
- Whether appropriate provision would be made for cycle storage and refuse
What decided it
The proposal was found to accord with the development plan taken as a whole, with no demonstrable harm to town centre vitality, community cohesion, heritage or character and appearance.
the isolated conflict with Policy DMD40 on shopfront glazing was outweighed by compliance with the wide range of other relevant policies, such that the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole and no material considerations indicated a different outcome
