Recommendations
• Local authorities to be given greater planning powers to prevent the proliferation of betting shops, payday lenders and fast food outlets
• Public health criteria to be a condition of licensing for all types of business
• Mandatory food hygiene ratings linked to calorie and nutrition labelling for fast food outlets
• A limit of 5% of each type of business on a high street in order to avoid oversaturation and provide affordable choice
• Legislation to enable local councils to set their own differential business rates to encourage healthier outlets and discourage those that are detrimental to health
