- 9. www.hertsdirect.org National Planning Policy – Guidance 2 • What is the role of health and wellbeing in planning? • What are the links between health and planning? • Who are the main health organisation a local authority should contact and why? • How should health and well-being and health infrastructure be considered in planning and decision making? • What is a healthy community?
- 10. www.hertsdirect.org Neighbourhood Planning • Neighbourhood planning will allow communities, both residents, employees and business, to come together through a local parish council or neighbourhood forum and say where they think new houses, businesses and shops should go – and what they should look like. • Reforms the way local plans are made Local planning authorities play a crucial role in local life, setting a vision, in consultation with local people, about what their area should look like in the future. The plans local authorities draw up set out where new buildings, shops, businesses and infrastructure need to go, and what they should look like. • Life time neighbourhoods • https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/404787/Notes_on_NP_14 • https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/6249/2044135.pdf

Editor's Notes
- Using Housing as an exemplar, this interactive session will be of practical value to the wide range of participants attending the conference. It will introduce and explore the opportunities and challenges involved in implementing the Health and Health Equity in All Policies approach. The session will provide an overview of and explore the rationale for Health and Health Equity in All Policies. It will examine how Public Health can maximise opportunities to lead and influence across the whole of local government and will present an illustrative case study on Housing and Health and discuss how learning can be effectively transferred and embedded.

- Spatial planning involves ‘critical thinking about space and places as the basis for action or intervention’, according to the Royal Town Planning Institute’s New Vision for Planning (RTPI, 2007). Planning Policy Statement 1: Delivering Sustainable Development (ODPM, 2005a) also emphasises that ‘spatial planning goes beyond traditional land use planning to bring together and integrate policies for the development and use of land with other policies and programmes which influence the nature of places and how they can function’. The planning system is now more than ever concerned with promoting the role of planning as a coordinator, integrator and mediator of the spatial dimensions of wider policy streams. The focus is thus with addressing the factors that influence the nature and functioning of the places we live in and what is referred to as their ‘liveability’. Planning Policy Statement 12: Local Spatial Planning (4 June 2008) – replaced by NPPF NPPF – SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPEMNT NPPF Guidance Localism Act Neighbourhood planning
- The Localism Bill was introduced to Parliament on 13 December 2010, and was given Royal Assent on 15 November 2011, becoming an Act. Community Rights will benefit communities across the country, giving them more power to shape local development and services. We carried out impact assessments on the Community Right to Challenge, Community Right to Bid and on neighbourhood plans and the Community Right to Build.
- There are three dimensions to sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. These dimensions give rise to the need for the planning system to perform a number of roles: ● an economic role – contributing to building a strong, responsive and competitive economy, by ensuring that sufficient land of the right type is available in the right places and at the right time to support growth and innovation; and by identifying and coordinating development requirements, including the provision of infrastructure; ● a social role – supporting strong, vibrant and healthy communities, by providing the supply of housing required to meet the needs of present and future generations; and by creating a high quality built environment, with accessible local services that reflect the community’s needs and support its health, social and cultural well-being; and ● an environmental role – contributing to protecting and enhancing our natural, built and historic environment; and, as part of this, helping to improve biodiversity, use natural resources prudently, minimise waste and pollution, and mitigate and adapt to climate change including moving to a low carbon economy. Achieving sustainable development: Building a strong, competitive economy;. Ensuring the vitality of town centres; Supporting a prosperous rural economy; Promoting sustainable transport; Supporting high quality communications infrastructure; Delivering a wide choice of high quality homes; Requiring good design; Promoting healthy communities; Protecting Green Belt land; Meeting the challenge of climate change, flooding and coastal change; Conserving and enhancing the natural

- What is spatial planning? Who implements it? Are planners more caught up on getting the number of houses required by DCLG to think about the public health challenges Do Planners recognise what they can do What does public health mean – do we introduce the illness and wellness service before we can move on?
- CSP’s Crime and Disorder Act 1998 Community safety partnerships (CSPs) are made up of representatives from the ‘responsible authorities’, which are the: police local authorities fire and rescue authorities probation service health The responsible authorities work together to protect their local communities from crime and to help people feel safer. They work out how to deal with local issues like antisocial behaviour, drug or alcohol misuse and reoffending. They annually assess local crime priorities and consult partners and the local community about how to deal with them.
