The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) consider that the Project (Rivenhall IWMF and Energy Centre) is likely to have a significant impact on its emergency ambulance operations, service capacity and resources (staff, vehicle fleet and estate assets) requiring appropriate mitigation and management measures to be identified and secured through either a planning obligation or Deed of Covenant. Such measures are likely to incorporate: • Assessment of increase in emergency ambulance activity (calls and attendance) as a result of this project to ensure EEAST’s is provided with sufficient resources to meet this additional capacity. • EEAST to have the capability to manage the additional incidents where emergency ambulance services may be required: EEAST’s staff, vehicle fleet & estate assets can prepare through all stages of the project, namely pre-construction, during and post construction and agree mitigation measures. • Establishing appropriate Terms of Reference, Membership & Communications Strategy for Transport, Community Safety, Health & Wellbeing Working Group – to include EEAST as an emergency service provider, along with its health and blue light partners such as the local Mid & South Integrated Care System, Essex Constabulary and Essex Fire and Rescue.
