As an exception to Policies TCR6 and TCR7, the council will encourage proposals for use classes A5 (Hot Food Takeaways), A4 (Drinking Establishments), A3 (Restaurants and Cafes) and D2 (Assembly and Leisure) on ground floor premises in North Finchley on:

• Nether Street – between its junctions with Ballards Lane and the High Road
• Ballards Lane – between its junctions with Kingsway and the High Road.

But such proposals will only be approved where they:

1. Do not unduly harm the amenities of nearby residential occupiers;
2. Provide a positive contribution to the vitality and viability of the town centre during both the daytime and evening, throughout the week; and
3. Would not worsen on-street parking conditions in the locality.
