520 _aExamines the challenge of the '24 hour city' and the resulting conflicts between town centre residents and the night-time economy of pubs, bars and clubs. While residents are complaining about late night noise, government is making it easier for new drinking establishments to open and have greater operating scope. Suggests that proposed changes to the Use Classes Order and legislation removing permitted hours will make the situation worse for residents. Considers how planners can avoid saturation of pubs, bars and clubs in town centres and push investment towards areas that would benefit from more eating and drinking venues. Briefly discusses the pros and cons of creating 'entertainment zones' and concludes that planners must liaise with other regulatory and management agencies to assess whether saturation point has been reached.
