SQ7 Health and Well-being
Before proposals for development are permitted, they will need to demonstrate that the following issues have been addressed:
- the design and layout of the proposal maximise opportunities for healthy living and healthy active lifestyles choices by the residents, workforce or visitors.
- access to open spaces;
- For development proposals of 10 or more dwellings developers must demonstrate that the healthcare needs (primary and acute) likely to be generated by the development have been considered in consultation with the relevant Health Care Trusts and Kent Adult Social Services as appropriate and that, provided it can be demonstrated that there is a deficiency in provision that cannot be addressed through normal NHS funding procedures, a developer contribution is secured, before the development is occupied, to ensure the most appropriate (on or off-site) provision is available, or will be made available, to serve the development.
