Hot Food Takeaway Supplementary Planning Document
Hot Food Takeaway Supplementary Planning Document July 2016 Foreword The Council is committed to improving the Borough’s health and wellbeing. This commitment is reflected in Sandwell’s Scorecard, the Sandwell Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy, and the Hot Food Takeaway Supplementary Planning Document. This document aims to reduce the trends towards increasing levels of obesity and poor diet by tackling issues of over-concentration of Hot Food Takeaways (HFTs) and the exposure of particularly vulnerable groups, such as schoolchildren, to HFTs. The explosive growth of the fast-food sector over recent decades has had a significant influence over how and where we purchase our food. It has affected not only our diet but also agricultural systems, the processing and packaging industry and the nature and appearance of our towns and cities. Fast food outlets / Hot Food Takeaways (‘A5’ as a Planning Use Class classification) are now a common feature of our High Streets and fulfil an increasing demand for instant food access and convenience. Fast food preparation and supply is an important element in the economy and in some urban areas makes up a significant proportion of the retail offer. Where balanced with other types of retail this provides a service to the public, jobs and rental income. Where Takeaways occupy a disproportionately high percentage of the retail offer, there can however be negative effects. In particular the vitality and viability of a town may be damaged and retailers and shoppers discouraged. There is a need to balance the protection of the retail function of our centres and encouraging diversification of uses to keep them vital and viable.
