The policy mentions hot food takeaways but does not mention the negative impact of such outlets on the food environment and potential health outcomes such as obesity. Fareham has higher than average rate of overweight and obese adults. Restriction of hot food takeaways is a method of potentially mitigating this issue. Public health recommends consideration of a policy to restrict new hot food takeaways. (Hampshire County Council – Public Health)

There needs to be better retail shops in Fareham that sell DVDs and CDs so that people do not have to visit cities.
Below are details of any new matters raised (i.e. not listed above) that have been received in either anonymous or partially completed representations. These representations have limited weight but have been read, considered and reflected below in the interest of transparency.
