Respondent: NHS Property Services Ltd
Site allocations lacking explicit requirements for on-site health facilities should include wording that mandates financial contributions for health and infrastructure mitigation, aligning with the IDP approach.
The respondent appreciates early engagement with Council Officers in plan preparation and the opportunity to contribute to the Infrastructure Delivery Plan.
An additional assessment by the ICB during Stage 2 of the IDP process will provide targeted evaluations of key site allocations and health infrastructure needs, offering more detail for each site allocation.
On a wider point, where a site allocation does not make an explicit requirement for an on-site health facility, the specific site allocation wording should include reference to the need for mitigation through financial contributions (for health and other infrastructure) which aligns with the approach being taken through the IDP. This ensures that the to ensure that this is known at the policy stage, and can be considered by developers as they bring schemes forward.
We welcome the engagement with Council Officers during the early stages of plan preparation, and the opportunity to input into the Infrastructure Delivery Plan (process). We note that an additional assessment will be provided by the ICB as part of Stage 2 of the IDP process, which will include more targeted assessment of the key site allocations and overall health infrastructure requirements as part of this process, and would therefore provide more detail to each individual site allocation once this process has concluded.
