Abstract: Local authorities (LAs) in England are increasingly using the planning system to manage the proliferation of hot food takeaway outlets (‘takeaways’) near schools as part of a range of policies to promote healthy weight in children. These takeaway ‘management zones’ include restrictions on planning permission to open new takeaways within a certain distance of schools. In this qualitative study we explore young people's perspectives of management zones.
