Halifax's vape shop boom to be tackled under new high street powers: The new planning powers will give Halifax residents control over vape shops ...

Key FactsAndy Burnham announces tighter rules for vape and betting shops

Aug 11, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: liverpoolecho.co.uk

New powers are intended to give councils and residents more influence over town-centre businesses, while police and authorities could take tougher action against rogue operators.

The government intends to revoke the Gambling Act’s “Aim to Permit” rule, allowing councils to more readily reject new betting shops and 24-hour gaming venues.

Vape shops would need planning permission, could not open near schools under the proposals, and a tighter definition would prevent businesses bypassing the rules as convenience stores.

Adult Gaming Centres would require planning permission from the start of 2027, while the maximum duration of Closure Orders would increase from six to 12 months.

For many people, the high streets they grew up with have been hollowed out and become unrecognisable over decades of decline.
— Andy Burnham said this while outlining plans to revive Britain’s high streets.
