AC Lloyd considers that the requirement for all planning applications for major development to be supported by a Health Impact Assessment is unnecessary and objects to the principle of the inclusion of such a policy, and any requirement at planning application stage for a Health Impact Assessment (HIA).
The formulation and end result of HIAs is effectively the collation and duplication of information already submitted as part of any major planning application.
AC Lloyd therefore considers such a policy unnecessary and should not be included in the Local Plan. See full response.

Housing and mixed-use schemes naturally contribute to improved community welfare by delivering high-quality homes, green spaces, and social infrastructure. Existing environmental health regulations, national space standards, and policies on sustainability and renewable energy already provide safeguards for health considerations within the planning process. The policy could better recognise the inherent health benefits of well-designed housing schemes, which provide safe, sustainable, and high-quality living environments.

I agree with the approach outlined in Draft Policy Direction-30- Health Impact Assessment for Major Development. Requiring Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) for major developments, ensures that the potential health and wellbeing impacts on local communities are fully considered. The flexibility offered by using screening reports and more detailed HIAs where necessary ensures the policy is applied appropriately, considering the scale and nature of each development. This approach prioritises community health and wellbeing, ensuring that developments contribute positively to creating healthy, safe, and inclusive environments, and mitigating any significant negative effects on public health.

The policy lacks clear criteria for when a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is required, potentially leading to inconsistent screening, unnecessary burdens on developers, or insufficient scrutiny of impactful developments. Without defined thresholds or triggers, the HIA screening process could delay applications, increase uncertainty, strain LPA resources, and risk ineffective implementation, making the policy less effective in delivering meaningful health benefits.

The fate of community health must not be dictated by developers and landowners. It is alarming that developers/landowners have been recorded as having concern over perceived costs when it comes to the health of the communities they say they serve.

It would be worrying to assert a case-by-case basis for HIA requirements (e.g., only major developments) if that decision is driven by developers/landowners, given their clear conflict of interest.

There must be a strong HIA framework that can be transparently referred to by the future home-buyers.

As a local resident, I strongly oppose SG05 &06’s inclusion in the Local Plan. This development would destroy greenbelt land, harming biodiversity and depriving residents of vital outdoor space used for walking, exercise, and community activities. HS2 has already disrupted Cubbington- enough is enough. Infrastructure, including roads, schools, and healthcare, is overstretched, and further growth will worsen congestion and strain services. Offchurch Road and Windmill Hill are already too fast and unsafe for heavy traffic. Cubbington has a distinct village identity, which this development threatens to erase. The council must reconsider SG05&06 and protect our already pressured community.

Landowners and developers should have no input in the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) of areas, as they have conflicting interests. HIAs should be determined by local communities and health authorities to ensure they address actual needs. Any projects resulting from these assessments must have a fixed budget, enforced by the government and an independent authority to prevent financial mismanagement. This approach ensures that developments prioritize public well-being over private profits, holding decision-makers accountable for essential infrastructure improvements. The full cost of these improvements should be borne by developers, not passed on through increased prices, to prevent burdens on the community.

We would welcome the engagement with Warwickshire County Council on developing and implementing the proposed HIA and would seek a view on what size constitutes a major development and thus requires a HIA.

We anticipate that there should be an expectation of full mitigation of any material negative impacts on healthcare, through infrastructure needs identified by providers in the IDP and through S106 contributions. We would like to explore a clear commitment within the plan for a defined level of financial S106 commitment to mitigate impact of developments on healthcare services.

This development would enable a bus service, benefiting the area and supporting community facilities.

The draft policy requires the submission of a Health Impact Assessment for planning applications for major development. The Council should note that there is a common misconception that older person’s housing places an additional burden on healthcare infrastructure and therefore rather than requiring applicants of older person’s schemes to show that there is capacity in healthcare systems and to show that the scheme will not have a health impact, the policy should instead recognise the health benefits that delivering older people’s housing can bring to individuals.
In addition, specifically designed housing for older people offers significant opportunities to enable residents to be as independent as possible in a safe and warm environment. Older homes are typically in a poorer state of repair, are often colder, damper, have more risk of fire and fall hazards. They lack in adaptions such as handrails, wider internal doors, stair lifts and walk in showers. Without these simple features everyday tasks can become harder and harder.

Recommendation:
For the plan to be in line with national policy and effective the following wording should be added to para 2 of the policy to recognise the health benefits of older persons housing. Specialist Housing for older people has a number of health benefits and proposals for such schemes will not be required to submit a Health Impact Assessment

The Policy Direction requires major development to be supported by a Health Impact Assessment. It is considered that the plan should set a threshold for what the policy considers to be ‘major’ to ensure that the policy and requirements are clear (NPPF paragraph 16d). Without a clear threshold, assessments could become inconsistent and create uncertainty. Therefore it is important that the Policy Direction provides the necessary clarity to ensure the requirement is justified (as required by paragraph 36 of the NPPF).
Policy Direction 30 states that: “developments with significant negative impact on health and wellbeing will not be supported unless mitigated or compensated for through planning obligations”. This is a broad statement and does not define what is considered a constitute a negative impact on health. It should accordingly be made clear that any mitigation / compensation should be site specific, and would need to comply with the tests set out in Regulation 122(2) of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended).

In terms of Draft Policy Direction-30- Health Impact Assessment for Major Development, we feel that this statement is framed very negatively. HIAs are a useful tool for the development of understanding of how to mitigate against negative impacts and how to shape a development in order for it to offer the most for residents. The statement should be reshaped to read more positively and to accentuate the benefits of undertaking this exercise.

We note that a HIA has been undertaken for the SWLP and note comments in respect of affordable housing, community facilities, access to open space, etc. etc. However, we also note that the assessment criteria do not include or consider anything beyond the provision of community facilities and whilst this is very welcome, staffing such community hubs, community centres, village halls or similar that enable community powered approaches is as important as the physical facility and provision or consideration of this funding challenge in the development process should be, in our view, a priority.

We strongly disagree with the developers views on the perceived costs and little benefit comment, as the HIA could form the basis of a community development strategy for a new settlement, that over time sees the
coordination of resources aimed at delivering a viable thriving community in a compressed period of time.

There is clear support within the NPPF (Section 8) for the creation of healthy and safe communities, and Paragraph 005 of the Healthy and Safe Communities section of the PPG highlights that health impact assessments can be a useful tool where there are expected to be significant impacts on health. The policy direction states that where there will be a significant impact on health and wellbeing, and this cannot be mitigated, applicants will need to compensate for such impacts, through financial contributions.

Viability should be taken into consideration; it is imperative for such a policy to not risk undermining the deliverability of much-needed housing sites, in instances where it may be challenging to provide adequate mitigation. This should have been acknowledged within the SA, in relation to potential impacts on SA Objective 9 (Housing).
