The High Court has upheld an enforcement notice requiring Cafe Nero to cease the mixed use of a shop in Epping for A1and A3 purposes. At appeal the Inspector had supported local policy designed to protect key town centre retail frontages, despite the popularity of the new use. It was ruled that the inspector had not found harm because of the specific non-retail use which had taken place, rather, it had the potential to progressively undermine the vitality and viability of the town centre. No deficiency in the inspector’s reasoning was found Nero Holdings Ltd v SOS 17/3/2009.
