The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) makes it clear that local planning authorities (LPAs) have a responsibility to promote healthy communities. Local plans should "take account of and support local strategies to improve health, social and cultural wellbeing for all". The National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) refers to promoting access to healthier food.
Public Health Warwickshire have produced a health impact assessment that suggests that the Local Plan should include a policy to restrict the proliferation of fast food outlets (particularly in the vicinity of schools).
