Object Healthy Communities:
-should consider health and wellbeing in broadest sense,not solely on health and community infrastructure.
-whilst Policy SP10 makes brief reference to promoting healthy lifestyles in pointF,its ability to shape and influence a healthy environment is limited:
-not supported by detailed policy that,does not pick up on role of development design in healthy place making.
-points D&F not compatible with ETC6,which sets out planning permission will be granted for A5(hot food takeaways)-evidence clear links between proximity to,and density of,hot food takeaways&obesity.
-growing number of local planning authorities now including policies within local plans to restrict hot food takeaways
