Compatible land uses: we have seen poor examples where green spaces have been located next to main roads such as at Eddington where the open space is next to the M11 and at Darwin Green where it is next to the A14. Reference should be made as whether there is disturbance from roads.

The requirements for healthy developments should be set out in the policies in the next Local Plan.
The SPD needs to stress that this is not a tick box exercise but aims to delivery high quality development.
The SPD needs to set out how conflicts between themes are resolved.
We are unclear as to what benefits this SPD will bring. It is the design of development which impacts peoples health i.e. how people's travel, whether homes have single or dual aspects, access to greenspace etc. All these requirements should be set out in the policies in the next Local Plan.
The delivery of health impacts will be dependant upon the quality of the development. The SPD needs to stress that this is not a tick box exercise but aim to delivery high quality development.
The SPD needs to set out how conflicts between themes are resolved such as requiring well lit routes but these may impact wildlife.

We are concerned that the HIA is yet another document needed to support a planning application. The SPD could make reference the pragmatic use of HIAs so as not to add extra bureaucracy to the submission and consideration of a planning application. It could be, for instance that impact on health forms part of the Design and Access Statement.
