Should be a reasonably worded policy that indicates a supportive approach from the Local Planning Authority to the improvement, reconfiguration, extension or relocation of existing medical facilities. This positive stance should also be indicated towards assessing those schemes for new bespoke medical facilities where such facilities are agreed to in writing by the commissioner. New facilities will only be appropriate where they accord with the latest up to-date NHS England and CCG strategy documents and are subject to The CCGs prioritisation and approval process.

It is vital that our infrastructure is serviced by adequate public transport systems and communication infrastructure.
