Representation ID: 15440

Respondent: North East London NHS Foundation Trust
Agent: Ingleton Wood LLP
As drafted the Local Plan does not identify an effective strategy to promote / require the delivery of adequate social infrastructure for the forecast growth within the Borough. It is requested that a specific policy seeking to promote and support, in principle, the provision of healthcare facilities is incorporated into the Local Plan. The policy should ensure that new and improved facilities are provided in light of assessment of the need for such facilities in the area and support the co-location of health and social care services where this would bring about improvements in access for the community. In addition, the policy should seek to secure the provision, enhancement and maintenance of health and social care facilities through planning obligations.
