6.1 Draft Policy HW1 (Health and Wellbeing) provides a strategic context for how health and wellbeing is influenced by planning. We are supportive of this draft policy, particularly as it aligns with the requirements of NPPF Paragraph 92 as it aims to achieve healthy, inclusive and safe places which promote social interaction, are safe and accessible and enable and support healthy lifestyles to address identified local health and wellbeing needs.

6.2 Part C of Draft Policy HW1 advises that new developments that provide a range of housing types and tenures that meet the needs of all sectors of the population, including for older people and those with disabilities requiring varying degrees of care; extended families; low-income households; and those seeking to self-build, will create an environment that protects and improves the physical, social and mental health and wellbeing of its residents, and reduces health inequalities
