Salford City CouncilSupplementary Planning Document

Hot food take aways

Consultation Statement – November 2013

1.0 Introduction

1.1 This document sets out the consultation that has been undertaken in relation to amending the hot food take aways supplementary planning document (SPD) which was adopted in July 2007. It sets out the persons consulted when preparing the SPD and also includes a summary of the main issues raised and how those issues have been addressed in the revised document.

2.0 Statement of community involvement

2.1 The city council’s statement of community involvement (SCI) was formally adopted on 20 January 2010. The SCI aims to increase public involvement in planning processes. It sets out who will be involved, by what method and at what point in the process of document production or in the determination of planning applications. It gives more certainty to those wishing to get involved in the planning process.

2.2 The SCI sets the council's policy for community engagement in the production of formal planning documents. Below is a summary of the SCI guidance in respect of consultation at the different stages of SPD production:

Stage 1 – pre-productionThis stage is based around the gathering of evidence and asking people to identify issues and make suggestions in order to inform the preparation of the SPD.

Stage 2 – productionA draft document is produced following the evidence gathering pre-production stage. Whilst the regulations simply require that draft SPDs are subject to a consultation period of at least 4 weeks, the SCI commits the city council to always consulting on the draft SPD for 6 weeks in order to maximise potential involvement. The city council will carefully consider any representations received during the consultation period and will update the SPD where it is considered necessary and appropriate.

Stage 3 – adoptionThe SPD will then be adopted. A summary of representations received and how they have been taken into account will be published at this stage.

3.0 Background to the hot food take aways SPD

3.1 Salford City Council has updated the previous hot food take aways supplementary planning document (SPD) adopted in July 2007. This is in order to ensure that the approach to determining planning applications for hot food take aways is as robust as possible.

3.2 The update particularly reflects experience in applying the 2007 SPD policies, recent appeal decisions, and widespread concerns regarding the health implications of hot food take aways. It seeks to balance the presumption in favour of sustainable development contained in the National Planning Policy Framework and the need to support local businesses alongside legitimate concerns regarding the potential impacts of hot food take aways for residential amenity, health and the vitality and viability of town and local centres.

3.3 Saved policy S4 of the Salford unitary development plan (UDP) provides the main policy basis for the SPD.

4.0 Scoping consultation

4.1 From Monday 9 July 2012 to Monday 20 August 2012, the city council sought the views of stakeholders and consultees on its intention to update the hot food take aways SPD (together with four other existing SPDs on design and crime, house extensions, telecommunications, and trees and development). The city council requested any comments that people might have on the existing SPDs and in particular whether any of the policies within them were still appropriate for use or whether they should be amended.

4.2 The city council consulted 288 consultees registered on its planning consultee database, including all statutory consultation bodies together with other consultees who the city council considered may have an interest in the production of the various SPDs. This included businesses, residents and community groups who had previously expressed an interest in or submitted representations on related planning policy documents. A list of all those consulted is set out at Annex A. A copy of the letter which was sent to consultees is set out at Annex B.

4.3 In addition, spatial planning officers ran a workshop with Urban Vision development management colleagues. Discussions were also held with Urban Vision’s environment team, the council’s environmental health and health and improvement teams, also Salford’s director of public health and health and wellbeing board. Details of the initial consultation were published on the city council’s website and an electronic version of the consultation documents were available to download.

4.4 A single representation was received from Barbara Keeley MP and was taken into account when preparing the both the draft and the adopted SPD. The Coal Authority and Network Rail also responded to say that they had no comments to make. These representations and the council’s response are set out in Annex E.

5.0 Draft SPD consultation

5.1 There was an eight week period of public consultation on the draft SPD from 10 May 2013 to 5 July 2013.

5.2 The city council consulted 342 organisations and individuals registered on its planning consultee database, including all statutory consultation bodies together with other consultees who the city council considered may have an interest in the revision of this document. This included: the city’s director of public health; all other Greater Manchester local authority directors of public health; Salford’s health and wellbeing board; the Salford BME forum; and BME network. Discussions were also held with Urban Vision’s development management and environment teams together with the council’s pollution control section. In addition all schools throughout the city were consulted on the proposed draft changes. Neighbourhood managers were contacted and letters were sent to every known hot food take away within the city (in total 244 outlets were contacted) seeking views on the draft planning policy document. A list of all those consulted is set out at Annex A. A copy of the letter which was sent to consultees is set out at Annex C.

5.3 Details of the consultation were published on the city council’s website1 and an electronic version of the covering letter and the draft SPD were available to download. Copies of all documents were also available to view at each of the city’s libraries. An article was placed in the June 2013 edition of Life IN Salford, available online2 and distributed to every home and business in Salford during the week beginning 3 June 2013. A press release was placed on the city council website on 28 May 20133 detailing the consultation. A clarification statement was then issued and published on the city council’s website on 30 May 2013. This clarified the draft policy approach to restrictions on operation of hot food take aways close to schools. There was an article in the Salford Advertiser and Manchester Evening News, five national newspapers also ran a story on the proposed changes, BBC online featured an article, in addition the children’s programme ‘Newsround’ also broadcasted an item on television. All articles published are set out at Annex D.

5.4 A summary of the main issues raised and submitted in response to the consultation on the draft SPD is set out below. Various comments were also submitted online on press publication websites in response to articles published. These again are summarised below.

5.5 The following 15 organisations and individuals submitted representations on the draft SPD:

5.6 The following 9 organisations responded to confirm that they had no comments to make:

Coal Authority English Heritage Environment Agency Highways Agency Manchester Airport Group Natural England Network Rail Oldham Council United Utilities

5.7 A schedule of all representations received at the scoping stage and in response to the draft SPD, together with the city council’s response to how these have been taken into account in preparing the final version of the SPD for adoption are set out at Annex E.

Summary of representations submitted

5.8 Twenty four representations were received in response to the draft consultation, of these, eight statutory consultees together with one Greater Manchester council confirmed they had no comments to make.

5.9 In total 15 individuals or businesses expressed a view, and of these 12 objected whilst there were three representations offering support for the proposed changes.

5.10 Three hot food take aways formally responded to the consultation, including one national operator. The views of both the independent take away owners were that existing businesses should be protected and the opening of further establishments should be restricted where they could potentially negatively impact on existing operators. To summarise, the national hot food take away operator commented specifically in relation to the proposed restrictions near to schools, and expressed the view that they did not believe planning restrictions of this nature we an appropriate or proportionate response to improve public health. Ultimately there must be flexibility for decisions to be made on a case by case basis.

6

5.11 Of the remaining representations, most comments related to the proposed restrictions on over the counter sales of proposed new hot food take aways. A number of these representations raised objections on more than one ground. Three individuals raised concern that the council would be unfairly restricting choice, three responses also objected on the basis that this would unacceptably impact on trading of new businesses and negatively impact on employment levels. There was a single objection to restrictions around schools given that chip shops are part of the British way of life/culture. A further comment received noted it should be the schools responsibility to ensure children undertake more physical activity. Another respondents’ view was that it should be the parents responsibility to ensure a child has a healthy diet and that chips or such like may be the only hot meal a child has in a day. A final objector suggested that there should not be an outright ban on over the counter sales before 5pm close to schools, but that hot food take aways should not be allowed to serve children unaccompanied by an adult.

5.12 All three of the respondents that offered support submitted comments in relation to the proposed new policy on restricting operation of hot food takeaways near to schools. Two of the respondents were members of the public whilst one letter of support was from Salford’s Health and Wellbeing Board. All three made reference to the importance of tackling obesity levels.

5.13 One representation also objected solely on the proposed change that would allow hot food take aways adjacent to residential properties subject to adequate odour and noise mitigation.

5.14 There were also numerous comments posted on press publication websites (both national and local) in response to articles written. Much of the extensive media coverage implied that this was a unique attempt by Salford to use planning to restrict hot food takeaways to help curb rising levels of obesity. This is misleading, as a number of other local authorities have however in the past few years introduced restrictions on new hot food take aways close to schools. Most local authorities have adopted a more stringent approach to Salford, placing an outright ban on further outlets opening close to schools, and in some instances extending this moratorium to parks, play areas and communities centres.

5.15 The large majority of comments made in response to the press articles were negative. Reviewing the content of the press articles, it may however be that some respondents thought that the council’s proposed approach to restricting hot food take aways applied to both existing and proposed businesses.

6.0 Previous consultations

6.1 In revising the SPD regard has also been had to comments received during the various consultations on the Core Strategy. At the pre-publication changes stage in summer 2011, NHS Salford raised concerns about the potential health implications of hot food take aways, particularly when they are located in close proximity to schools. Similar concerns were raised by the Salford Strategic Partnership Board in November 2008, but in relation to the proximity to education facilities more generally. The new policy HFTA 2 (hot food take aways and schools) addresses the issue of hot food take aways near to secondary schools.

Daytime takeaway food sales could be banned near Salford schools

The new plan would ban the sale of hot food within 400m (1,300ft) of a school

Takeaways near schools in Salford could be banned from selling "hot food over the counter" before 17:00 to encourage children to eat healthily.

The ban would affect new outlets opened within 400m (1,300ft) of a school.

Data released by the National Child Measurement Programme in 2012 showed 35% of 10 and 11-year-olds in Salford were overweight or obese.

Councillor Margaret Morris said the changes would ensure new outlets do not have "a negative impact on the city".

The city council has proposed the ban.

Mrs Morris said that while planners "cannot control the food that is sold", the council would encourage new takeaways to "offer well promoted healthy alternatives, so people can have an informed choice about the food they eat".

She added "public health and helping to reduce obesity levels" was a "top priority" for the council.

"Takeaways create jobs and provide a service but these ideas are to make sure that they are opening in the right places."

The proposals - which could also limit the opening hours of businesses in "areas with problems of crime" -are open to public consultation until 5 July.

Takeaways near city's schools face a ban on serving chips before 5pm in bid to tackle childhood obesity

A city's takeaways could be banned from serving hot food during school hours under plans to tackle childhood obesity.

Chip shops, kebab houses and fast-food chains such as McDonald’s near schools would not be allowed to serve hot food to any customers – including adults – before 5pm in a shake-up of planning regulations put forward by Salford council.

Margaret Morris, the council’s assistant mayor, said: ‘Takeaways create jobs and provide a service, but these ideas are to make sure they are opening in the right places and not having a negative impact.

‘We don’t think they should be serving hot food before 5pm near schools, as children should be encouraged to eat healthily.

'Public health and helping to reduce obesity levels are a top priority, and while planners cannot control the food that is sold we would like every new premise to offer well promoted healthy alternatives so people can have an informed choice about the food they eat.

'Residents are encouraged to come forward with any comments or suggestions so they can be taken into consideration before a decision is made on the future of planning in our city.'

Last year, Salford officials announced they wanted a ban on mobile takeaway and ice cream vans near schools, but the new policy, which would apply only to new takeaways, extends this to permanent fast-food premises.

But Vas Felini, manager of Neil’s Fryery in Salford, said: ‘This is ridiculous. Nothing is more healthy than fresh fish.

'And chips cooked the right way are nutritious. It should be down to kids’ parents what they eat.’

Local residents were sceptical about whether the idea would work.

Nursery nurse Rebecca Hanlon-Jones, 23, said: 'I don’t think it will work. Obesity starts at home, and it depends much more on what the parents are feeding them the rest of the time.

'The ban would hit grown-up workers too - maybe that’s a good thing as some of them need it.'

The plans are not the first time a council has tried to tackle obesity by cracking down on takeaways – in 2011, Oldham council considered bringing in a £1,000 ‘fat tax’ on hot food traders, but the plan was scrapped.

Officials at Salford City Council want a “no chips before 5pm” rule to stop pupils buying unhealthy lunches or nipping in for a snack on the way home.

Assistant mayor for health Margaret Morris said they wanted to encourage children to eat healthily.

But Vas Felini, manager of a local chippy, hit out at the plans.

He said: “What will they do next, ban newsagents who sell fizzy drinks and crisps? Nothing is more healthy than fresh fish”.

“And chips cooked the right way are quite nutritious.”

Two years ago the council failed in an attempt to impose a £1,000 “fat tax” on fast food.

Ban Chips And Hot Food Before 5pm To Tackle Obesity, Suggests Salford Council

Selling hot food, including chips, to school children before 5pm could be banned in controversial measures being considered by a council, in an effort to curb childhood obesity.

Any new takeaways, kebab shops and fast food restaurant such as McDonalds could all be banned from serving hot food over the counter during school hours, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Councillor Margaret Morris, assistant mayor for health at Salford council, told the newspaper: "Takeaways create jobs and provide a service but these ideas are to make sure that they are opening in the right places and not having a negative impact in our city.

“We don’t think they should be serving hot food over the counter before 5pm near schools, as children should be encouraged to eat healthily, so we have made this clear in our proposal."

But some local business owners in the area have described the proposals as "ridiculous".

Jazz Caur, the manager of Subway store next to a school on Hankinson Way, told the Huffington Post UK: "Would they rather not have our money and lose our business altogether? Most of these kids don't have breakfast and they come to my shop for a sausage butty. The kids tell me they just serve junk food at school anyway. We're probably healthier than that."

Andrew Crook, treasurer of the National Association of Fish Fryers told Huff Post UK: "Fish and chips aren't as unhealthy as people are led to believe.

"The majority of children pass by takeaways in the morning with sugary drinks and sweets having been to the newsagents. Are they going to ban Tesco Express and newsagents as well?

"We would definitely be in opposition to the proposals. This is something schools should be monitoring, not takeaways."

Pupils face takeaway ban in bid to fight childhood obesity

Restaurant owners in Salford hit out over proposals to restrict sale of hot food to children

Selling hot food to school children before 5pm could be banned in measures being considered by a town hall, in an effort to curb childhood obesity.

Any new takeaways, kebab houses, fish and chip shops and chains – such as McDonald’s and KFC – located close to schools would not be allowed to serve hot food over the counter during school hours under Salford council’s proposals.

The suggested regulations – open to public consultation until 5 July – are part of a nationwide trend of councils targeting growing rates of childhood obesity by bringing the fast food industry under tighter control. Several local authorities have already banned takeaways from opening close to schools, youth clubs and parks.

Waltham Forest, in east London, was the first to begin turning down applications from those who wanted to set up takeaways near schools – and since then scores of other councils have followed suit. Oldham Council also considered bringing in a £1,000 “fat tax” on hot food traders in 2011, before it was scrapped by Labour.

Andrew Cook, treasurer of the National Federation of Fish Friers, who owns fish and chip shops in Preston, said of Salford’s proposals: “This is penalising business unnecessarily. One of my shops is right next to a secondary school but the people who come in at lunchtime are all working folk, not school kids. Every morning I see children going to the newsagents next door and buying sweets, chocolates and pies – and that’s not healthy. But we’re an easy target.”

Professor David Haslam, chairman of the National Obesity Forum, said: “Just keeping fast food restaurants shut won’t make any difference to the obesity problem because children can still go down to the sweet shop and get a bag of crisps. I’m pleased that people are thinking about how to tackle the obesity problem, but on its own this is too little.”

The ban would affect new outlets opened within 400m of a school.

Councillor Margaret Morris, assistant mayor for health at Salford council, said: “Takeaways create jobs and provide a service, but these ideas are to make sure that they are opening in the right places and not having a negative impact in our city. We don’t think they should be serving hot food over the counter before 5pm near schools, as children should be encouraged to eat healthily, so we have made this clear in our proposal.”

But Vas Felini, manager of Neil’s Fryery chip shop on Salford’s Langworthy Road, was unimpressed. He said: “I’m against it. What will they do next, ban newsagents who sell fizzy drinks and crisps? Fish and chips is traditional. Nothing is more healthy than fresh fish. And chips cooked the right way are nutritious. It should be down to kids’ parents what they eat.”

Ban selling chips before 5pm, say Salford council, in a bid to fight childhood obesity

Chippies, kebab houses and chains such as McDonald’s would not be allowed to serve hot food over the counter before 5pm under the plans being proposed by Salford council.

Vas Felini, of Neil’s Fryery, says ‘chips cooked the right way are nutritious' Takeaways could be banned from serving chips during school hours – under new anti-childhood obesity rules being looked at by a town hall.

Chippies, kebab houses and chains such as McDonald’s would not be allowed to serve hot food over the counter before 5pm under the plans being proposed by Salford council.

It is one of a raft of new rules being considered in a shake-up of planning regulations, with Salford asking the for the public’s views before pushing ahead.

Under the changes, which would only apply to new takeaways applying for a licence, town hall officials also want to:

Lift a ban on takeaways opening next to residential houses and flats because extractor fans have got better

Oblige takeaways ‘not to worsen’ crime and disorder caused by drunken revellers

Strike out a ‘healthy eating’ clause from the planning code, because the council says it is unenforceable.

The plans are not the first time a council has tried to tackle obesity by cracking down on takeaways.

Oldham council considered bringing in a £1,000 ‘fat tax’ on hot food traders in 2011, before it was scrapped by Labour.

Earlier this month, Salford announced a new one-to-one ‘health coaching’ scheme in a bid to cut soaring rates of diseases associated with alcoholism, binge eating and smoking.

It announced last year that it was thinking of bringing in a ban on mobile takeaway and ice cream van trucks near schools – but the new policy would extend this to permanent takeaways.

Coun Margaret Morris, assistant mayor for health at Salford council, said: “Takeaways create jobs and provide a service but these ideas are to make sure that they are opening in the right places and not having a negative impact in our city.

You've got fat chance of selling this one to the people of Salford...

As a mum, I just think kids will go further afield to find chips. It is nannying, really. It should be up to parents what kids eat. But it’s a tough one – some parents don’t feed their children well so what happens at school can make a difference.

Finance worker Sue Leigh, 44, of Deans Road, Swinton

Salford consults on fast food policy changes

Measures to ensure fast food outlets serve food only after 5pm if they are located near schools are among a series of changes to Salford City Council's planning policy on hot food takeaways which have been put out for consultation.

The council is currently consulting on a revised draft of its existing hot food takeaways supplementary planning document (SPD). This is intended to update and replace the current document.

Salford said it considered it necessary to update the hot food takeaways SPD in order to reflect the National Planning Policy Framework and changes to legislation and guidance since the document was first adopted. It also said that recent planning appeal decisions in Salford had informed the need for revisions.

The key proposed changes to the supplementary planning document are:

Inclusion of a new policy which places restrictions on the operation of hot food takeaways around schools to support and encourage children to make healthier eating options.

Inclusion of a new policy to ensure hot food takeaways do not worsen any existing problems of crime and disorder.

Deletion of a current policy on hot food takeaways and residential properties. The council said that this follows recent appeal decisions in which planning inspectors concluded that extraction equipment can adequately mitigate harm arising from odours even where there is an adjoining residential property.

The existing policy approach to odours has been altered to focus on unacceptable noise levels from odour control equipment where a residential property is adjacent to a proposed hot food takeaway.

Deletion of the council's current policy on healthy eating options. Salford said that as the current policy only 'encourages' takeaways to introduce healthier options, and is not a requirement, "there is no clear indication of how a decision-maker or applicant for planning permission should react. On this basis, it is considered more appropriate to include a section on healthy eating in the SPD but not as part of a policy".

Margaret Morris, Salford Council's assistant mayor for health and wellbeing, said: "Takeaways create jobs and provide a service, but these ideas are to make sure that they are opening in the right places and not having a negative impact in our city.

"We don't think they should be serving hot food over the counter before 5pm near schools, as children should be encouraged to eat healthily. So we have made this clear in our proposal.

Representation Council response and implications for SPD

a Barbara Keeley MP

Concern is raised regarding the potential impact of hot food take aways on local areas and local centres. In particular, there is a need to take into account:

the impact on residential areas; the potential for noise; the potential for rubbish and vermin; the concerns of residents; and the need to protect the quality of the residential

environment.

These issues are covered in broad terms in saved UDP policy S4. The revised SPD provides further details.

The previous policy HFTA 1 (hot food take aways and residential properties) is removed from the revised SPD, as decisions based on it have been overturned at five recent appeals. Other policies in the revised SPD however seek to ensure that residential amenity is given adequate protection. For example, new policy HFTA 3 controls hours of opening, new policy HFTA 4 (a revision of the previous policy HFTA 5) controls odours and noise, requiring appropriate extraction equipment and sound proofing, and a new policy HFTA 5 seeks to ensure that hot food take aways do not lead to any increase in anti-social behaviour.

New policy HFTA 1 in the revised SPD updates the previous policy HFTA 2, and seeks to ensure

40



that there is no over concentration of hot food take aways that would detract from the vitality or viability or town centres or local centres.

New policy HFTA 6 addresses disposal of waste products and seeks appropriate management of waste on site, whilst new policy HFTA 7 requires that litter bins are available for patrons of hot food take aways.

001 Anonymous You say you will stop all hot food being served in certain stores/take outs during school hours to tackle childhood obesity when clearly children should be in school during these hours, so really the only people you are stopping eating is the general public.

I think a better plan would to have them still open for the public, but state they should not serve to children without a parent. Surely that makes more sense than a full ban?

Research indicates that the most popular time for purchasing food from shops is after school and many secondary school children may also leave school premises at lunchtime.

Permitting hot food take aways to only serve children when accompanied by an adult would prove extremely difficult to enforce from a planning point of view.

businesses, only new businesses.

Following on from the draft consultation changes have been made to new policy HFTA 2. The restrictions on over the counter sales will only apply to locations close to secondary schools Monday to Friday. This is considered to be a reasonable approach and the basis for changes are: there would seem to be insufficient evidence at the present time to suggest primary school pupils have the same degree independence as secondary school children in terms of travelling to and from school; and it would seem unnecessary to apply the policy on a Saturday and Sunday given children do not attend school on these days.

Overall the final policy approach is considered to be an appropriate balance between protecting the health of children and enabling new businesses to become established.

002 Mr P. Anastasiou The council is not supporting existing small businesses, despite this being central government policy. Another hot food outlet has now opened up and couple of doors down despite only recently a food outlet opening on the opposite side of the road and another within the hospital.

Competition between similar uses is not a material planning consideration. Policy HFTA 1 in the revised SPD updates the previous policy HFTA 2, and seeks to ensure that there is no over concentration of hot food take aways that would detract from the vitality or viability or town centres or local centres.

An area of land previously used for customer car parking has also now been taken over by the council and is now primarily used by those visiting relatives at the hospital.

Regarding the use of the adjacent land by the council, any issues regarding land ownership are not within the remit of the planning system.

003 Mr P. Chamberlain

In some ways I can see that there are too many take aways spring up, but who is at fault? Well no need to look far, for the answer lies with the council planning department.

In the 1970s there could not be the same type of shop with in a certain distance from each other but pubs was the only thing that there was more of. In my day we went from one school to the other for lessons and there was one chippy which worked with the school back then. Also shops closed on Wednesday afternoon, not today and also some fast food leaflets we get in Eccles already are only open from 4pm so they get no dinner trade.

If you decide to force this nanny state (big brother) on us and take aways not open till 5pm how many people are going to be unemployed?

Unfortunately I see big business forcing some problems on you. They would pay a fine that you would enforce on them and just carry on regardless. Lets have a look at something you could try bring big

business to the high street and not build large stores, take for example Tesco.

Tesco want every 3 miles a store in place so Superstore Irlam Small Extra in Monton and Petrol Station Extra Eccles. Now you gave permission to have large superstore in Eccles (West One) they say that they will have 400+ parking which in a way are already there so that's wrong and they have a superstore in Salford Pendleton you need to sort this first.

Getting business back on the high street and slowly you would get rid of take aways, but to do this you will need to remove yellow lines this killed the High Street.

Also can I just say how are the council workers at Swinton (town hall) going to survive, because they walk into Swinton town centre and go to fast food establishments. So no Greggs, Subways, Geenhaighs, Morrisons Sandwiches, small bakeries selling cakes and pies, also in that case no Pubs sell fast food either.

You need to look at school food first and that way you could educate the next generation.

Remember no fast food companies no employment, council tax, or investment in the area.

Overall the final policy approach is considered to provide an appropriate balance between protecting the health of children and enabling new businesses to become established.

In response to other issues raised, concentrations of supermarkets within the city is outside the scope of this supplementary planning document, and the positioning of double and single yellow lines is not within the remit of the planning system.

007 Mr J. Griffith What a ridiculous idea to not sell hot food during the day. The British chip shop has been part of our lives for generation after generation, now there is a suggestion they should not open at lunchtime. Surely obesity is more likely to be caused by people eating takeaways etc. later in the evening? Not having a traditional British meal at lunchtime. Scrap this idea now.

The restrictions on the operation of hot food take aways (new policy HFTA2) will not apply retrospectively to existing hot food take aways, only new businesses, and will only affect a small area of the city in locations close to secondary schools Monday to Friday.

Since there are approximately 250 existing hot food take away businesses in the city, the policy is unlikely to unduly restrict access to popular food choices such as fish and chips.

008 Mr J. Harrison There are some good takeaways near schools that are used by adults, for lunch, and a few that only open for lunch. By restricting opening time, you are depriving some people, like drivers, and losing people working in takeaways their jobs.

It is also requested that a similar approach to the London Borough of Hackney’s Publication Development Management Local Plan7 where proposed policy DM12 sets out: Proposals for hot food take-aways (A5 uses) that sell food considered to be unhealthy may not be granted planning permission if proposed within 400 metres of the boundary of a secondary school, excluding locations in the Borough’s shopping centres.

to protect the health of children and enabling new businesses to become established.

It is recognised that the provision of unhealthy food is not the sole preserve of hot food take aways. A1 and A3 uses do sell a wide variety of goods and it is true that some of the goods that they sell are not conducive with healthy eating. This however tends to be a far smaller proportion of the goods on offer and it would seem unreasonable to restrict their operation on this basis.

Most businesses falling within the ‘A’ use classes in the first instance are directed to defined centres through national policy but there are clear benefits in terms of locating for instance, some small scale convenience stores within residential areas to cater for local needs and top up shopping. By applying the policy to A1 uses, this could be perceived to be an unjustified restriction on access to day to day services.

It would seem logical to assume that children do not visit restaurants during school lunchtimes given they are unlikely to be affordable. Cafes may sell unhealthy food at a price which is attractive to children but it is likely that they will

also sell a wider range of healthier options. Furthermore, any restrictions imposed on cafes would also affect restaurants given they fall within the same use class.

Hackney’s proposed approach has not yet been subject to examination. The policy approach as it stands would seem somewhat difficult to enforce in terms of ensuring healthy food continues to be sold from the premises. Furthermore, at the onset it would seem difficult for the decision maker to make a judgement on at what point the type and /or proportion of unhealthy food deems the proposal to be unacceptable. The policy would also seem to be contrary to the guidance in the NPPF (paragraph 153) which sets out “only policies that provide a clear indication of how a decision maker should react to a development proposal should be included in the plans”.

013 S. Miah I am writing in regards to the planning documents for 306 Lower Broughton Rd which I have received from Salford council. I decline on giving planning permission for a hot food takeaway. My reasons being there are too many takeaways within the area, taking the economy into consideration business are really low having another food place won’t help. It’s already hard

Competition between similar uses is not a material planning consideration. Policy HFTA 1 in the revised SPD updates previous policy HFTA 2, and seeks to ensure that there is no over concentration of hot food take aways that would detract from the vitality or viability of town centres or local centres.

49



to keep the business going, There is around 5 -6 hot food place on street alone so I hope you take my request into consideration.

The revised SPD does not directly address the issue of concentrations of hot food take aways outside of defined centres but saved UDP policy S4 addresses the cumulative effect of such uses whether in or out of defined centres.

014 Mr M. A. Mohmadi

We have 5 schools around us and hot take away food is an unhealthy option for our children. More take aways will increase the existing problems of crime and disorder in the Monton area.

Comments noted in relation to schools and hot food take aways.

In response to comments on crime and disorder, it is not to suggest that hot food take aways are inherently problematic in generating disturbance. Nor is anti-social behaviour an inevitable consequence of such premises. Nonetheless hot food take aways can often attract a gathering of people, which particularly at night can exacerbate existing problems of crime and disorder.

Where there are existing concerns over crime and anti-social behaviour in an area, an applicant may be required to provide or contribute to deterrent measures, alternatively hot food take aways may be limited in their opening hours. Any restrictions/financial contributions will be imposed based on the advice from Greater Manchester Police.

016 Mr D. Needle It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure their children eat appropriately, and there are many ways of doing this without limiting trading hours. Even if a school child were to eat 'hot food' from a take away most days of the week for their lunch this could form part of a reasonably healthy diet if the parent's provided adequately for breakfast and dinner. Limiting trading hours would likely have a huge effect on the potential revenue of a takeaway, limit choice of available food for local residents, and is an unnecessary intervention. If this amendment is to be included it requires serious thought and clarification as not all 'hot food' from a takeaway is detrimental to health. For instance, jacket potato, poached egg sandwiches and properly cooked fish are all healthy choices that could be available from a hot food takeaway. These choices would, I assume, also be restricted. Furthermore, particularly through winter months, it may well be beneficial for school children to eat a hot lunch - even if it is chips. Some of these children may well not eat breakfast or be provided with a nutritious hot dinner. To combat child obesity the focus should be on suitable parenting.

I do not agree that the Council should impose regulations that inhibit free choice for the sale and

Parents, schools and health services all have responsibility to encourage children to eat healthily and when more calorie rich food is consumed this should be part of a balanced diet and eaten in moderation.

Hot food takeaways do not directly cause obesity but the majority of premises offer food which is energy dense and nutritionally poor, which can contribute to obesity. Hot food takeaways within easy walking distance to schools provide an attractive and affordable food option for pupils and could be a contributing factor to unhealthy eating habits in children and rising levels of childhood obesity.

Some children who consume unhealthy food from hot food take aways could have a relatively balanced diet and may be consuming healthy food choices for all other meals. Conversely, for some pupils the school lunch may be their only nutritionally balanced meal of the day. By restricting access to hot food take aways close to secondary schools, this should not deny children of a hot meal as it would be expected

purchase of hot food. that, especially during the winter months, schools should be providing hot (and nutritious) food as a lunchtime option.

Influencing types of food sold by a hot food take away is outside the remit of the planning system and would prove difficult to enforce. It is recognised that hot food take aways are not the only means of accessing unhealthy food choices, and some may provide healthier options, most do however predominantly sell unhealthy foods.

The restrictions on the operation of hot food take aways (new policy HFTA 2) will not apply retrospectively to existing hot food take aways, only new businesses, and will only affect a small area of the city in locations close to secondary schools Monday to Friday.

Since there are approximately 250 existing hot food take away businesses in the city, the policy is unlikely to unduly restrict access to these popular and convenient food choices to the majority of the city’s residents.

019 Mrs M. Nugent Superb idea. I think this whole outlook, policy change is excellent. As a nation we can no longer afford to support obesity through our NHS. Obesity is dangerous, it cannot be seen as curvy and big is beautiful. It is dangerous. Salford is making a brave stance on thus and other authorities should follow.

Comments noted.

020 W. Parkinson A ridiculous idea. What about adults who want hot food and sometimes chips for dinner. It is a free country and surely adults have the right to decide what they want to eat!!!

021 Mrs R.

Charlestown/lower Broughton boarder, we already live in a hell hole with far too many takeaways - if salford council gave a rats about healthy eating they would not allow such a concentration, and as for extractor fans being 'better' a takeaway has opened on Cromwell Road (rumour has it the licence was granted in Bristol!) and the sickening greasy smell that pervades my home, which is in the next street, is lowering the quality of life even further. What is your aim? to heap even more misery on to already put upon residents - let's face it, if we could move away we would, you have either no comprehension or no interest in residents, you are a shower of self-serving opportunists and have turned Salford into a city where people just exist, not live.

adequate protection. For example, new policy HFTA 3 controls hours of opening, new policy HFTA 4 (a revision of the previous policy HFTA 5) controls odours and noise, requiring appropriate extraction equipment and sound proofing, and a new policy HFTA 5 seeks to ensure that hot food take aways do not lead to any increase in anti-social behaviour.

022 Salford’s health and wellbeing board

In summary Salford’s health and wellbeing board commented as follows:

Reducing childhood obesity levels is a top priority for the health and wellbeing board because overweight and obese children are more likely to become obese adults, and consequently have a higher risk of illness, disability and premature death.

A number of studies have found that takeaway food outlets are often located in areas of higher socioeconomic deprivation. The National Obesity Observatory (NOO) has found that there is a strong

association between deprivation and the density of fast food outlets. With the most deprived areas having more fast food outlets per 100,000 population. There is a similarly strong relationship between the prevalence of obesity and deprivation, women and children in lower income groups are more likely to be obese than those who are wealthier. It would be simplistic to suggest a cause and effect relationship ie more takeaways leading to higher rates of obesity but there is clearly an association between the two.

Salford as a city with significant areas of deprivation is inevitably doubly challenged by both higher rates of both childhood obesity and takeaways supplying high calorific foods. Young people are particularly susceptible in this environment. Therefore the draft SPG is to be welcomed, any measures which potentially control the availability of fast food to children outside of parental supervision is a positive contribution to managing the environmental factors which contribute to obesity.

023 Mr G. Sunbeam I blame Margaret Thatcher....she sold off the playing fields of the non-fee-paying schools in England, so the school-kids couldn't even do the one afternoon of Games that they used to do; plus Gym, once a week, of course.

It is recognised a joined up approach is needed to encourage healthier lifestyles combining physical activity alongside a healthy balanced diet. Parents, schools, the health service and other organisations all have responsibility to encourage healthy living amongst children and

At Boarding school u do Games 5 afternoons a week. It's compulsory and it gets u fit, so u need the food to build yr muscle-mass. With Gym once a week, too. [6th afternoon was Combined Cadet Force {CCF}, which is marching and charging in a synchronized way; and Sunday was free].

I know the truth of the above, for I went to both sorts of schools; so I speak with knowledge.

What to do now?....find new playing fields, max the use of those that are still there, do Gym more often, curse Margaret Thatcher every day at morning Assembly.

Cut the CCF, and the 5-days-a-week day schools could then do games every afternoon. Except, the teachers would now do a full day's 8-hours of work; so there'd be strikes immediately. It's hard enough for them not being bored lifeless during the school holidays.
