Joffe, I suggest you re-read this thread with your glasses on. This was never about the area being too good for Dominos. Maybe for some, but not for me.
It was about poor design, loss of amenity, traffic and noise with respect to the specific location where they applied for change of use.
I think the success of the other businesses on HOP is testament to the local demand for quality services. The Old Bank and the Honor Oak Tandoori, in part, went out of business because the new landlords would appear to put profit before community and hiked the rents beyond affordability.
