Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the vitality, viability and character of Southgate District Centre
- the health and well-being of residents and community cohesion, having particular regard to crime, anti-social behaviour and social disadvantage
What decided it
The long-term vacancy of the property and the absence of evidence demonstrating that an AGC would harm the district centre's vitality, viability or character, or increase crime and anti-social behaviour, outweighed the Council's concerns.
