This policy is proposed to be modified from the current Neighbourhood Plan
Policy NM8: Health and Wellbeing Centre and/or Policy NM9: Business and Innocation Centre will be deleted if it is confirmed that the preferred site for a new Health and Wellbeing Centre and/or business innovation centre/hub is now at Caird Avenue.
The sites would remain included in policy NM5 Town Centre Regeneration to recognise the potential of these location for brownfield redevelopment
Policy NM8: Health and Wellbeing Centre
The Neighbourhood Plan identifies a Health & Wellbeing Centre, as shown on the Policies Maps (site 7), as a Town Centre redevelopment scheme.
Development proposals will be supported for the co-location of health and wellbeing services and for an expanded facility to serve a larger and more diverse local community.
Please review the proposed modifications and tell the steering group your thoughts on the proposed changes.

Supporting text
The Town Council has the opportunity to work with partners to create a Health & Wellbeing Centre within the town centre at Spencer Road to provide an enhanced health and wellbeing centre with co-designed services that include health assessments and activity plans to protect, maintain and prolong good health.
Proposals for mixed use development or redevelopment to include a health facility (D1) at ground level with health and wellbeing uses at upper floors will be supported to provide a new, purpose built health and wellbeing centre. The Town Council is currently leading a Steering Group with the West Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group and local General Practices to deliver a hub that streamlines the three surgeries and provides additional health services. This policy therefore supports this project.
