The significant cumulative impacts of residential developments on healthcare infrastructure in the area should be recognised and, given their strategic importance, health facilities should be put on a level footing with affordable housing and other infrastructure providers when reviewing, securing and allocating S106 and CIL funds, in order to enable the delivery of vital NHS projects. It is imperative that planning policies are positively prepared, in recognition of their statutory duty to help finance improved healthcare services and facilities through effective estate management.
