Restricting hot food takeaways within a 400m radius from an entrance to a primary or secondary school, youth centre or similar location is in direct conflict with national planning policy. The Policy provides no flexibility in accordance with town centre sites, conflicting with the sequential approach.

The phrasing “or similar location” needs to be defined. A map showing such exclusion zones will highlight the negative land use consequences of Policy P18. The policy is likely to be damaging to the district’s economy.
