Respondent: East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT)

The policy wording requires ESNEFT, the statutory health authority and provider to demonstrate to the Council that development proposals would not compromise the future delivery of health services. This implies that the LPA is seeking to play the role of health authority, which is obviously the function of ESNEFT. However, it is acknowledged that development proposals for the hospital site should be considered in the context of a masterplan and suitable transport strategy, which ESNEFT is currently preparing. Consequently, revised wording to the first part of Policy CS19 is sought, as well as amendments to paragraph 8.212 (see full text).
