This policy is supported as it requires major developments to promote healthy (and therefore active) environments through the preparation of Health Impact Assessments. The reference to the use of the EPOA advice to inform such assessments is particularly welcomed as the most recent review of the advice has fully incorporated consideration of how a development considers the opportunities for creating environments that encourage physically activity including consideration of Sport England's Active Design guidance.
