Working with the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and directors of public health, we call on the government to: a. develop clearer definitions for the terms “hot food takeaway”, “fast- food outlet” and “reasonable walking distance” and develop guidance and provide practical support for local authorities to identify areas with high volumes of unhealthy food outlets and they should be resourced to develop plans to address these; b. review current use classes to ensure that establishments that are clearly operating as takeaways are not able to operate as Class E establishments and avoid restrictions; and c. mandate the involvement of public health officials in the development of local planning policy and decision making. (Recommendation, Paragraph 91)
