The County Council agrees with the inclusion of ‘Impacts of climate change on health’ in section 3.13 of the Health Impact Statement.
Paragraph 3.13 lists matters that could be covered in a HIA. Most would not be relevant to mineral or waste sites where there are few employees and visitors (deliveries etc) and not publicly accessible, a very different situation to a housing, retail or leisure development.

It seems excessive that HIA’s can only be prepared by those who are suitably qualified, if that is what is intended. Experience and knowledge are equally valid, and this firm prepared the previous HIA without anyone on the team involved having a formal IEMA qualification. The key is whether the HIA follows the required guidance rather than to focus unduly on the identity of who prepares it. The document will either be fit for purpose or it will not.
Dear Sir / Madam,
Here are some representations in respect of the above reference consultation draft SPD’s submitted on behalf of the following named clients:
• TLC Group
• Rockley Dene Homes Ltd
• The Fellows House Ltd
• SPK Residential Cambridge Ltd
• London Inn Hotels (Cambridge) Ltd
Yours faithfully

We are supportive of the three HIA objectives as defined in the SPD (para 3.5). We also agree with the SPD's stance on proportionality in HIAs, as highlighted by paras 3.7 and 3.8.
Topics relevant to a HIA (para 3.12) are acknowledged, and it is agreed that the topics to be covered by any HIA will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
On behalf our client Vistry Strategic Land, please find attached our representations to the current HIA SPD consultation.
We would be grateful for confirmation of safe receipt.
Kind regards
