PLAN MAKING Sample Clauses

PLAN MAKING. The planning process is plan-led and local planning authorities produce Local Plans to set the planning strategy for their area, to be achieved through strategic policies and through site allocations and detailed development management policies. These policies are used to assess planning applications. Local Plans include housing targets. The allocation of sites establishes the principle that specific types and scales of development are appropriate in specific locations. This includes allocating sites for housing and mixed-use development to meet housing targets. It also provides healthcare planners and commissioners with the potential to take a long term strategic approach to allocating sites to meet health infrastructure needs. Local Plans may be produced as a single document or as a suite of documents. In general, a Local Plan will take three to five years to produce. Local Plans, and Neighbourhood Plans (usually prepared by Parish and/or Town Councils), must take account of guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The NPPF sets out the wide ranging ways in which planning should promote healthy and safe communities (Chapter 8) and require Local Plans to have strategic policies for (para.20):  a) housing (including affordable housing), employment, retail, leisure and other commercial development;  b) infrastructure for transport, telecommunications, security, waste management, water supply, wastewater, flood risk and coastal change management, and the provision of minerals and energy (including heat);  c) community facilities (such as health, education and cultural infrastructure); and  d) conservation and enhancement of the natural, built and historic environment, including landscapes and green infrastructure, and planning measures to address climate change mitigation and adaptation. Local Plans are subject to Sustainability Appraisal (SA) to assess the likely economic, social and environmental effects of policies. Specific questions are generally included about the built and natural environment encouraging heathy lifestyles and providing necessary health service infrastructure. This is an opportunity to ensure Councils are considering the relative merits of different sites and policies properly against public health related issues. The considerations that go into the Sustainability Appraisal are essential to what follows in the Local Plan and so early engagement in the Sustainability Appraisal process by Public Health and wider hea...

PLAN MAKING. The extensive consultation that takes place on plan making provides the most significant opportunity for health partners including CCG’s to use their expertise to ensure that Local and Neighbourhood Plans reflect national and local health priorities adequately. Norfolk Public Health will continue to respond via Norfolk County Council as well as individually as required. During the preparation of their Local Plans the respective LPAs will need to consult all statutory and other agreed health3 and social care consultees and in particular at “Regulation 18 and 19” statutory consultation stages. Each of the groups of organisations will be responsible for responding on their own behalf in a manner which meets the deadlines for the planning process. To meet NPPF requirements, it is important for relevant health planning and commissioning bodies to ensure that strategic Local Plan policies reflect their own strategic priorities and the available evidence base. Evidence on likely long term overall growth needs and the consequent strategic health needs will be key. Public Health and local planning authorities in Norfolk have made available provisional figures, based on demographic modelling, for likely annual and long term population growth in each CCG area. This evidence assists both Local Plan making authorities and the relevant healthcare commissioning bodies to assess future health facilities and workforce needs and to plan accordingly. This evidence is intentionally “high level” to assist strategic planning. It is provided at the CCG level and is not intended to be site specific as it is the role of the relevant healthcare commissioning bodies to determine how best to address the health care needs resulting directly from specific new developments. However, updated data will in the future be publicly available online which will, along with an improved understanding of the implementation of new housing schemes, provide a valuable evidence base to assist healthcare planners and commissioners in planning for health needs in the medium and long term. In addition to this, health partners will use comprehensive health planning tools which provide detailed information on health estate, travel times to services, clinical indicators such as prevalence, GP workforce data, mapping future housing trajectories (taken from Annual Monitoring Reports AMRs). This is in order to provide an aid to health care planning in relation to population and housing growth in Norfolk and Wa...
