NHS England (NHSE) wishes to re-state the objection raised at the previous consultation stage in respect to this policy. Specifically, NHSE objects to the limitation imposed by the policy on securing the direct provision of infrastructure by developers.
The policy, as currently worded, would preclude the direct provision of infrastructure by developers, as it allows for mitigation to take the form of a commuted sum or CIL payment only.
By introducing a restriction in the way the impacts of development could be mitigated, the policy cannot be considered 'positively prepared', 'justified', 'effective' or 'consistent with national planning policy'.
