The number of takeaways in Bradford has nearly doubled in eight years.
New figures have revealed that 180 takeaways were open for businesses in 2010, but eight years later the number has gone up to 420.
This is the second largest increase in the country behind Lancashire, where 265 opened over the same period of time.
Planning legislation has been put in place to prevent takeaways from being within 400 metres of schools or leisure centres, but councillors believe this method is not working.
Research from medical journal The BMJ suggests people most exposed to takeaways are nearly twice as likely to be obese.
