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 Waveney.
