Abstract

This is the second of a series of seven reports to NICE concerned with the degree to which the spatial planning system incorporates health and well-being effectively in its processes. Report 1 examined how projects (concerned with land use) are appraised as part of the planning process. It examines how far and in what ways the statutory and non-statutory appraisal of projects account for potential positive and negative impacts on health and the social and environmental determinants of health, and what lessons emerge from current practices. Report 2 examines the same issues, but looks specifically at plan appraisal. It looks at the appraisal of spatial plan-making, including geographical areas or functions (for example transportation), and how health objectives and issues are considered. The two reports will feed into further review work, which will take into account a wider range of evidence from a number of sources, aiming to provide a basis for NICE guidance.
