Planning committee
Decided by Barnet Planning Committee on 14 Oct 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the change would replace an existing gambling use and could protect neighbours through conditions.
- Thirty objections raised concerns about gambling concentration, public health, residential amenity, crime, vulnerable groups and town-centre vitality.
- The committee rejected approval by 7 votes to 0, with 1 abstention, and refused the application over public health concerns.
