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).

It is noted that health and emergency services are referred to, although there is no specific reference to acute hospital facilities. Therefore, for completeness, the following additions to the Policy and supporting text are requested:
- Point 3 on page 76;
- Bullet point 7 on page 76; and
- Page 152 - list of strategic infrastructure utilities under community facilities.
See full text for suggested amended wording.
