Supports the plan to ensure availability of a wide range of employment land, as the recent recession has resulted in many redundancies across the county which impacts on mental health and wellbeing, therefore any opportunity to attract inward investment, particularly "green investment" and employment to the district will be welcomed. Any large developments, such as the Coventry & Warwickshire Gateway site should consider incorporating cycle routes, measured miles and green gym equipment to allow employees to integrate physical activity more into their daily lives.
Aligns with public health indicator 'Improving the wider determinants of health' and NICE guidance 'Four commonly used methods to increase physical activity (PH2), 'prevention of cardiovascular disease (PH25)', 'Physical activity and the environment (PH8)' and 'Mental wellbeing and older people (PH16)'.
