I note there is no Health Impact Assessment attached to the Plan. Given the problems at Colchester Hospital, which is reportedly struggling to cope currently, the large and consistent growth in population in Colchester will suffer from inadequate hospital infrastructure.
Also at 7.4 it's stated that action will be taken to mitigate adverse effects of emissions on public health. If West Tey were to be built, it would be at a point where emissions from traffic on the A12 and A120 would be at the highest levels. What action in mitigation is proposed?
