    • 33 York Rise (Truffles)
    • 1A Woodsome Road 1-4 Highgate West Hill (Bistro Laz etc)
    • 15 Swain’s Lane (St Anne’s charity shop)
    • 21 Swain’s Lane (Gail’s);
  2. encouraging the retention of historic facades contributing to the character and appearance of the following pubs:
    • Dartmouth Arms public house
    • Southampton Arms public house
    • Bull and Last public house
    • Star public house
    • Lord Palmerston public house;
  3. requiring any security shutters to be sympathetic to the shop front and designed so as to allow views into the shop front at night; and
  4. (to the extent possible through planning control) ensuring that advertisements are not allowed to obscure views into shops in the Neighbourhood Centres.
