6.9 Policy HW3 requires development proposals to demonstrate that they would have an acceptable impact on health and wellbeing through either a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) or Health Impact Assessment Screening Report "where required in individual Local Planning Authorities’ local development documents, as specified in the relevant local development document".
6.10 This is not supported by Taylor Wimpey, as it does not provide clarity for applicants as to whether or not such an assessment is required. Furthermore, an assessment should only be required where there is genuine potential for a proposal to detrimentally impact upon health and wellbeing, rather than simply because such a document is listed in a validation checklist.
