Ipswich Borough Council Local Plan Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document Review - Final Draft

Representation ID: 26210

Received: 21/02/2020

Respondent: Ipswich & East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group & West Suffolk CCG

Representation Summary:

The CCG and Alliance partners are willing to be involved in any discussions involving assisted living and residential care homes. This area of development puts strain on all healthcare providers and being involved in discussions from the earliest stage possible will help primary, secondary, community and mental health care mitigate the impact.

The provision of assisted living developments and residential care homes, although a necessary feature of care provision and welcomed, can pose significant impacts on local primary care provision and it is important that planners and developers engage early with the CCG, to plan and implement suitable mitigations.
