Before further progression and amendment of policies are undertaken, the Local Planning Authority should have reference to the most up-to-date strategy documents from NHS England which currently constitute The Five Year Forward View and the Emerging CCG Strategic Estates Plan & Primary Care Plan. Care should be taken to ensure that emerging policies will not have an adverse impact on healthcare provision within the plan area and over the plan period. In instances where major policies involve the provision of development in locations where healthcare service capacity is insufficient to meet the augmented needs appropriate mitigation will need to be sought.
