Bookmaking offices in residential areas
Proposals for bookmaking offices in predominantly residential areas are unlikely to be approved due to potential adverse impacts from noise, litter, disturbance, and traffic generation affecting neighbours' amenity.
Proposals for bookmaking offices are unlikely to receive favourable consideration from the council if located in a predominately residential area. In such locations noise, litter, general disturbance and the generation of additional traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian, would likely give rise to an adverse impact on amenity and cause inconvenience to neighbours.
