Carmichael, Laurence; Grant, Marcus; Hewitt, Stephen

Abstract

The report documents the evaluation of the first year of ‘the Bristol Protocol’. This is an agreement between NHS Bristol and Bristol City Council to receive public health consultations for selected planning applications and preapplication processes. The purpose was to support the consideration of the impact on health outcomes in the assessment and determination of planning applications. Based on audit of planning applications referred to NHS Bristol, surveys of Bristol City Council’s planners, interviews and documentary analysis, this evaluation assesses how and to what extent public health colleagues in
Bristol have been able to influence decisions on planning applications. The analysis also helps to determine whether there have been changes in knowledge and attitudes of development management planners about the links between health and planning. The research covered the period 17 May 2011 to 31 August 2012.
