Committee decision: Refused
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed change of use would result in an unacceptable over-concentration of Adult Gaming
Centres and Betting Shops, which would harm the vitality and viability of Harlesden Town Centre.
The proposed development is contrary to DMP 1 and BE5(d) of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041.
