3.0 What is a Health Impact Assessment?
Representation ID: 200538
Received: 24/01/2025
Respondent: Cambridgeshire County Council
The County Council agrees with the inclusion of ‘Impacts of climate change on health’ in section 3.13 of the Health Impact Statement.
Paragraph 3.13 lists matters that could be covered in a HIA. Most would not be relevant to mineral or waste sites where there are few employees and visitors (deliveries etc) and not publicly accessible, a very different situation to a housing, retail or leisure development.

4.0 When is a Health Impact Assessment required?
Representation ID: 200539
Received: 24/01/2025
Respondent: Cambridgeshire County Council
Paragraph 4.5 refers to “Development proposals that include potentially hazardous uses or installations” which would include some waste management facilities – for example Energy from Waste facilities.
The County Council supports the level of discretion included in Paragraph 4.7. Where relevant we require noise, AQ, odour, vibration & dust assessments and have asked waste developers to draw from these to inform a focussed HIA.
