The new guidance introduces limits on the number of payday lending and betting shops allowed in town and local centres.
New planning rules that will restrict the number of betting offices and payday lending shops set up across West Dunbartonshire are being introduced by the council.
The policy means that when considering applications for payday lending shops or betting offices elected members will not support premises that lead to overprovision which may also impact the character of the surrounding area. Now any application which looks to increase the number of premises to more than the combined total of payday lenders and betting offices in any town centre will not be supported.
