Respondent: Suffolk County Council

Joint Suffolk Health and Wellbeing Strategy - Outcome 4: People in Suffolk have the opportunity to improve their mental health and wellbeing:

The planning system can support better mental health by enabling and encouraging exercise and access to green space. Design can also contribute by discouraging feelings of being enclosed, creating places which feel safe and by creating environments which encourage social interaction. This could be covered in forthcoming countywide guidance on design, but the Plan could provide a policy hook.

The Plan considers suitable community facilities, and the County Council will work with IBC in respect of library facilities.
