Support controls on the over-concentration of food and drink uses where high levels of obesity, deprivation, health inequalities and general poor health. Evidence on the relationship between proximity and the incidence of obesity is weak and conflicting. No mechanism for any link between incidence and proximity to primary schools because their pupils do not travel to or from school unaccompanied. The inclusion of youth centres problematic as research focussed on secondary schools or the diet of their pupils. Specifically restricting hot food takeaways rather than all food and drink uses not supported by research, which often conflates them. Indeed, other food and drink uses can often constitute more of a problem.
