TLC6 BETTING SHOPS, PAWNBROKERS AND PAYDAY LOAN SHOPS AND HOT FOOD TAKEAWAYS
To ensure that shopping areas remain diverse and balanced, the council will seek to manage the concentration of betting shops, pawnbrokers and payday loan shops.
Any proposal for a new betting shop, pawnbroker and payday loan shop will be considered against the provisions of Policy TLC2 and TLC3 and may be granted permission in accordance with the quotas that apply, and where it can be demonstrated that the proposal:
- will not impact adversely on the amenity, character and function of an area;
- will add to the vitality of the existing shopping parade or cluster; and
- will not result in negative cumulative impacts due to an unacceptable concentration of such uses in one area.
When considering proposals for hot food takeaways (class A5), and in addition to the quota policies that will apply, the council will take into account the location and nature of the proposal with regard to the proximity of existing hot food takeaways, its compatibility with surrounding uses and, as applicable, available evidence relating to health impacts.
