For major residential developments, Policy SP5 requires that a “Healthy Placemaking Checklist” be undertaken and for significant residential developments, a rapid HIA is required. The need to ensure that development proposals are designed to facilitate accessible healthy environments is recognised. However, there is a need to be cautious in applying additional policy burdens like HIAs to sites proposed for allocation in the RLDP that could go beyond what has been tested in the Viability Assessments submitted during RLDP preparation, especially for smaller sites. Policy SP5 as drafted therefore risks not achieving the third test of soundness (Will the Plan deliver?)

Policy SP5 states that “developers are required to undertake a screening assessment of their proposals at the pre-application stage to identify the potential health impacts of their development..”. For major residential developments between 10 and 99 dwellings, Policy SP5 requires that a “Healthy Placemaking Checklist” be undertaken and for significant residential developments of 100 dwellings or greater, the policy requires a rapid HIA be undertaken. The need to ensure that development proposals are designed to facilitate accessible healthy environments is recognised.
