ED10: Betting shops and payday loan shops

  • Applications for betting shops will not be permitted:
    • in district centres, other than West Norwood, where this would lead to an over concentration defined as being more than three betting shops or more than 1 in 10 consecutive premises; or
    • in local centres where this would lead to an over concentration defined as being more than one betting shop per centre; or
    • where it would lead to an increased perception or likelihood of reduced vitality and commercial viability in the area; or
    • where, because of its nature and its location, it is likely to give rise to anti-social behaviour and disturbance to local residents and users of the town centre and a risk to the level of crime.
  • Applications for payday loan shops will not be permitted:
    • in local and district centres where this would lead to an over-concentration of such uses, defined as being more than one per centre; or
    • it would lead to an increased perception or likelihood of reduced vitality and commercial viability in the area.
  • The approach to betting shops and payday loan shops in Waterloo, Brixton, Streatham and West Norwood/Tulse Hill is set out in their respective Places and Neighbourhoods policies.
