The Healthy Torbay SPD (Consultation Draft) sets out details of how policies in the Torbay Local Plan which relate to health and well-being issues should be applied, and had regard to, in decision-making in the preparation of planning applications. Topics include the role of the environment in determining health outcomes, health in Torbay, healthy food environments, community investment areas, healthy design and health impact assessment.
