For the purposes of the HIA, the application area is referred to as ‘Northstowe Phase 2 development’ and comprises: the Main Phase 2 development area; and Southern Access Road (West). 1.3 Aims and objectives of the HIA The aim of this HIA is to ensure that the Northstowe, Phase 2 development maximises the potential for positive effects on health and wellbeing whilst minimising any negative effects. 1.4 Report Structure This HIA Report includes Project description; Background to HIA; HIA methodology and scope; and Assessment of health outcomes and recommendations.

Consideration of health is an important aspect of any major policy programme or project within the UK. The purpose of an HIA is to assess the health consequences of a policy, programme or project and to use this information in the decision-making process to maximise the positive and minimise the negative health impacts of a proposal. HIA is a multi-disciplinary activity that cuts across the traditional boundaries of health, public health, social sciences and environmental sciences. The most commonly used definition of HIA is taken from the World Health Organisation (WHO) Gothenburg Consensus Paper '……a combination of procedures, methods and tools by which a policy, programme or project may be judged as to its potential effects on the health of a population, and the distribution of those effects within the population'1. 2.2 National and regional policy context HIA is promoted at European level in Article 152 of the Amsterdam Treaty; and at UK level in the Government White Paper Saving Lives: Our Healthier Nation (1999). The Government White Paper: Choosing Health – Making Healthy Choices Easier (2004) outlined the importance of routinely considering the impact of ‘non- health’ interventions on population health both before implementing policies (through HIAs, for example) and afterwards through evaluation. The Government White Paper: Healthy Lives, Healthy People: Our strategy for public health in England (2010) does not identify a specific requirement for HIA, but its policies and guidance support this approach. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, 2012), makes reference to the links between local planning authorities and health organisations. The national policy suggests future development should be assessed for any expected changes and barriers to health and well-being. HIAs proactively seek to do just that, and therefore this policy can be noted in influencing the requirement to produce an HIA for new developments. The specific statement within the NPPF is within paragraph 171, addressing health and well-being, which is 'Local planning authorities should work with public health leads and health organisations to understand and take account of the health status and needs of the local population (such as for sports, recreation and places of worship), including 1 WHO European Centre for Health Policy. (1999). Health impact assessment: main concepts and suggested approach. Gothenburg consensus paper. WHO Regional Office for Europe.

Since the revocation of the Regional Strategies in 2010 there are no appropriate regional policies to consider for the East of England. The South Cambridgeshire Development Control Policies DPD (2007) outlines a key objective to ‘ensure that major new developments create distinctive, sustainable and healthy environments to meet the needs of residents and users, and contribute towards the creation of vibrant, socially inclusive communities.’ It also highlights the requirement for major developments to submit an HIA to demonstrate that the principles of sustainable development have been applied. The Development Control Policies DPD will be superseded by the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan Proposed Submission (2013) when it comes into effect. The Local Plan states that ‘New development will have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of new and existing residents. Planning applications for developments of 20 or more dwellings or 1,000 m2 or more floorspace will be accompanied by a Health Impact Assessment to demonstrate this.’ South Cambridgeshire District Council has also issued HIA Supplementary Planning Document (2011) which provides guidance on undertaking HIA to ensure that the creation of healthy and inclusive communities and that health impacts are adequately addressed during throughout the development process. 2.3 Definitions and determinants of health Many groups concerned with health, including the WHO, advocate a wider, social understanding of health. The broader understanding of health is captured in the WHO definition

  • Going for Gold – the South Cambridgeshire Story
    Going for gold The South Cambridgeshire story Written by Kevin Wilkins March 2019 Going for gold Foreword Local government is the backbone of our party, and from Cornwall to Eastleigh, Eastbourne to South Lakeland, with directly elected Mayors in Bedford and Watford, Liberal Democrats are making a real difference in councils across the country. So I was delighted to be asked to write this foreword for one of the latest to join that group of Liberal Democrat Jo Swinson MP CBE councils, South Cambridgeshire. Deputy Leader Liberal Democrats Every council is different, and their story is individual to them. It’s important that we learn what works and what doesn’t, and always be willing to tell our story so others can learn. Good practice booklets like this one produced by South Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Democrat Group at the Local Government Association are tremendously useful. 2 This guide joins a long list of publications that they have produced promoting the successes of our local government base in places as varied as Liverpool, Watford and, more recently, Bedford. Encouraging more women to stand for public office is a campaign I hold close to my heart. It is wonderful to see a group of 30 Liberal Democrat councillors led by Councillor Bridget Smith, a worthy addition to a growing number of Liberal Democrat women group and council leaders such as Councillor Liz Green (Kingston Upon Thames), Councillor Sara Bedford (Three Rivers) Councillor Val Keitch (South Somerset), Councillor Ruth Dombey (Sutton), and Councillor Aileen Morton (Argyll and Bute) South Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats are leading the way in embedding nature capital into all of their operations, policies and partnerships, focusing on meeting the housing needs of all their residents, and in dramatically raising the bar for local government involvement in regional economic development.

  • Morelock Signs Working With
    working with The A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme covers a long and congested section of the A14 dual carriageway and is currently going through major works as part of Highways England's proposals to relieve trafc congestion, connect communities and enhance national economic growth. With the route at capacity, almost 85,000 vehicles use this stretch of the A14 every day with up to 21,000 being heavy goods vehicles. Since the start of the project and the installation of narrow lanes a temporary posted speed limit of 40mph was imposed. It became apparent that not all drivers were adhering to the speed limit especially during the evenings. Unfortunately, drivers felt they could exceed the 40mph limit through the enforcement cameras which evidently caused a rise in the amount of speeding offences issued and safety of road workers was being compromised. Working together with the Trafc Management team supported by Highways England, Morelock delivered a new solution with radar speed sign technology implemented in trafc management for the rst time. The introduction of the new LED speed indicating devices in construction work zones will protect the lives of road workers and encourage drivers travelling through to slow down. Radar speed sign technology is a successful technique being used for trafc calming efforts. These signs are proven to help reduce drivers' speeds in both the short and long term. Morelock's radar speed signs equipped with software that capture driver speed and relevant trafc data have been deployed in a host of applications from small communities to larger industrial sites and in partnership with the police force to tackle speeding by educating and changing driver behaviour.

  • Save Honey Hill Group Comments on Cambridge Waste-Water
    Save Honey Hill Group Comments on Cambridge Waste-Water Treatment Plant Relocation Phase Two Consultation Members of Save Honey Hill Group welcome the opportunity to comment on the proposals in the statutory Phase Two Consultation as set out in the CWWTPR Document Library. While we are keen to engage with AW for mitigation, we do this without prejudice to our stated aim to stop the relocation to Honey Hill as there is no operational need to do so1, the housing proposed for the vacated brownfield site can be met elsewhere more quickly than the planned availability of the site in 2028, and there is not a proper planning basis for this proposal. While the comments here are representative of the views of the group, individual members may also make their own responses. We welcome the fact that residents of a wider geographical area in North Cambridge have been consulted in this Phase. Comments to us from some of these residents are also included here. We recognise that not all surveys have been completed and that technical reports which would better inform our responses to the proposals are not yet available. We therefore recognise that proposals may change considerably before the Phase Three Consultation and reserve the right to comment more fully at that time. The questionnaire asks which environmental issues relating to the project are important to us. As all are of equal importance our comments are set out under specific issues but not necessarily in the order in which they appear in the questionnaire. 1. Design and Visual Impact Designs for recent Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs) elsewhere have aimed at achieving solutions which can neither be seen nor smelled, such as Southern Water’s Peacehaven plant2, Thames Water’s Deepham’s WWTW3 and Southern Water’s Eastbourne plant4.
