Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they expect to make betting shops and payday loan shops into a separate planning use class; and if so, when.


This question was answered on 4th March 2015

We have consulted on a range of planning measures to support our high streets, including requiring a planning application for the change of use to a betting shop or pay day loan shop. An announcement on the outcome of the Technical consultation on planning will be made in due course.
