Draft Policy INF1 states all new development will be required to provide for the necessary on-site or off-site infrastructure requirements arising from the proposal. We also note Draft Policy INF4 which sets out the Council’s commitment to working with the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB and developers in maintaining and improving facilities to support the health and wellbeing of communities.

We recommend the Council continue its engagement with the ICB and wider NHS stakeholders to further refine the identified healthcare needs and proposed solutions to support the level of growth proposed by the Local Plan, as identified in the IDP.

NHSPS supports the provision of sufficient, quality community facilities but does not consider the proposed policy approach to be positively prepared or effective in its current form. To ensure the Plan is positively prepared and effective, NHSPS are seeking an addition to Draft Policy SC6: supporting paragraphs.
