Thank you for your consultation regarding the above development. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) welcomes the opportunity to comment on your proposals at this stage of the project. Please note that we request views from the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) and the response provided is sent on behalf of both UKHSA and OHID. We can confirm that: We note that the developer has scoped out at the earlier stage all issues that could potentially been a concern in terms of impacts on human health. With respect to Registration of Interest documentation, we are reassured that earlier comments raised by us on 21st August 2023 have been considered. In addition, we acknowledge that the Environmental Statement (ES) has not identified any issues which could significantly affect public health. Following our review of the submitted documentation we are satisfied that the proposed development should not result in any significant adverse impact on public health. On that basis, we have no additional comments to make at this stage and can confirm that we have chosen NOT to register an interest with the Planning Inspectorate on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
