Update on Otterpool Park Garden Town Development To receive an update.
Presenter: Julia Wallace – Masterplanning, Urban Design and Viability Manager (Shepway District Council)
Please see website www.otterpoolpark.org for background information. Minutes: The Board received an update on the Otterpool Park Garden Town Development.
Members were advised that the draft Core Strategy would be going to Cabinet shortly prior to consultation. The design was a landscape led process which has dictated where building would take place and there would be a mix of green space and urban areas. In total the project would take 30 years with Phase 1 (c.2,000 houses) expected to take 10 years with the aim of starting work on site in 2020.
A bid had been made to the Housing Infrastructure Fund which would help front fund physical infrastructure such as schools, rail, roads and health.
Health and wellbeing opportunities were being investigated and discussions would take place with Kent County Council Public Health and the Clinical Commissioning Group over the design of the health offer. This included preventative healthcare measures as part of the overall design.
Ms K Benbow advised that 2,000 houses were not enough to warrant an additional GP practice and primary care was already stretched in Folkestone and couldn’t absorb the additional population. There was also concern that any extra care housing would generate additional pressures on primary care services in Folkestone.
RESOLVED: That the update be noted and a further update be given on health provision to a future meeting.

Members were advised that other Health and Wellbeing Boards in Kent were reviewing their individual arrangements but no decisions had been made yet.
RESOLVED: That the matter be added to the agenda for the next meeting.

Update on the Public Health Workstream To receive an update.
Presenter: Michelle Farrow – Head of Leadership Support, Dover District Council Minutes: The Board received an update on the Public Health work stream.
Members were advised that the East Kent Smoking Action Plan covered the 5 East Kent authorities. In addition, Dover had a red indicator on smoking during pregnancy and the work stream would seek to identify actions in respect of tackling it. The full action plan with targets would be reported back to the Board.
The Head of Leadership Support (Dover District Council) advised that it was important that Kent County Council provide a public health representative for the workstream, even if on a case-by-case basis, so that existing knowledge and resources could be tapped into at a local level.
RESOLVED: That the Chairman of the Board and the Head of Leadership Support (Dover District Council) draft a letter in respect of accessing Kent County Council public health support. |

Urgent Business Items To consider any other items deemed by the Chairman to be urgent in accordance with the Local Government Act 1972 and the Terms of Reference. In such special cases the Chairman will state the reason for urgency and these will be recorded in the Minutes. Minutes: Clinical Commissioning Group Update
Members were advised that there would be one accountable officer for Kent, with two managing directors (one for East Kent and one for West Kent). The principle of commissioning local services would continue but where, such as with cancer services, there was benefit in commissioning countywide this would be done.
The matter would become clearer as the STP structures formalised and HR processes concluded.
RESOLVED: That the update be noted. |
