Plans for a controversial gambling arcade next to Earl’s Court station have been blocked following protests from residents including Bianca Jagger.
Silvertime Amusements Limited had hoped to move its current operation on the busy west London road to a bigger venue on the same street. The new venue would have 14 more gambling machines and take up a larger site of a former Lloyds bank opposite the Tube station.
However, the firm’s change of use application was refused at a Kensington and Chelsea Planning Sub-Committee on April 16.
Ward Councillors Hamish Adourian and Linda Wade both opposed the application. Cllr Adourian slammed Silvertime’s plans to move their arcade to a bigger location as “appalling.”
