Support Policy P16, note need for planning applications for 50 or more dwellings to be accompanied by a Health Impact Assessment. Unclear where this threshold has come from – no explanation in supporting text, feels a little arbitrary. Some overlap, most notably in respect of allotments (under criteria 2) with preceding Policy P15, albeit this needn’t detract from the fact that the policy has been positively prepared and is broadly consistent with the NPPF.
Respectfully suggest that higher threshold be applied contiguous with the standards established in earlier policies and tables (for instance the full range of on-site open space, sport and recreation facilities kicks in at 100 dwellings in table 6.2).
