The Public Health Department fully supports the proposal to include HIAs in order to maximise positive impacts of the proposed development and minimise potential adverse impacts.

Solihull GPs have also been consulted on the proposals and have raised concerns that the Solihull MIND facility may need to be closed due to local development plans on the land.

Concerns have also been raised about the potential increased pressures on GP practices from house building in GP catchment areas. The document attached contains communication from local GPs on these 2 issues.
