About the Greater Cambridge Health Impact Assessment Supplementary Planning Document
The Greater Cambridge Health Impact Assessment Supplementary Planning Document (2025) [PDF, 1.5MB] was adopted in 2025 and has been prepared by the Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service on behalf of Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council. Following the adoption of the Greater Cambridge Health Impact Assessment Supplementary Planning Document, South Cambridgeshire District Council revoked their Health Impact Assessment Supplementary Planning Document (March 2011).
The Greater Cambridge Health Impact Assessment Supplementary Planning Document builds on national guidance and provides guidance on the implementation of policies within both the South Cambridgeshire Local Plan (2018) and the Cambridge Local Plan (2018). The SPD provides tools and guidance that can help frame to health impact assessments, including the steps involved in the process and details of what should be included in a HIA to demonstrate that any health-related impacts have been fully considered.
