However I don't think that saturation of certain businesses in a particular locality is a valid objection under material planning considerations. They will presumably need to make a licence application which is probably more relevant for anyone wanting to oppose yet another gambling institution in their area. Personally I wouldn't want any more of them around but they seem to be a growth area in the current economic climate and do provide jobs. I am surprised at that given the rise in internet gambling and betting but I suppose people want the traditional bookie atmosphere and a chance to meet other people.
