Objection 2 A Picture of North Hertfordshire:
- would be sensible to reference the Hertfordshire Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2016-2020. This document is available at
www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/hwb and recognises that the things affecting our health and wellbeing vary over the course of our lifetime. Therefore, the strategy has been developed using four significant stages of the life course (starting well, developing well, living & working well, ageing well).
- Planning has a fundamental role to play in creating the environments that support these.

Object D1:
-point c:would recommend that the Hertfordshire Health, Wellbeing and Planning guidance is referenced here;would support emphasis in paragraph9.4
-Health Impact Assessment(HIA) is a process that helps evaluate the potential health effects of a plan, project or policy before it is built or implemented. An HIA can provide recommendations to increase positive health outcomes and minimise adverse health outcomes.
- Whilst other impact assessments such as the SEA, SA and EIA do pick up on health, the definitions within them are often quite narrow and may not consider wider health determinants.
