Barnsley councillors refuse to allow a former school in Darfield to be turned into a takeaway.
In addition, the council noted adult obesity rates in Barnsley are "exceptionally high" and there was already a high concentration of takeaways in the village.In the letters, residents raised concerns around late night noise, increased traffic, litter and vermin.Highlighting the scale of the obesity problem, BMBC said Darfield has the highest rate of childhood obesity and severe obesity in the borough, with 24% of year six children falling into this category.
The report states: "Adding an additional takeaway in this location does not diversify the local food offer and is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, which states 'planning decisions should aim to achieve healthy, inclusive and safe places which enable and support healthy lifestyles'."
The applicant had also provided insufficient information to assess the impact on traffic, added the report.
