answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2019 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) is not a statutory consultee under the planning regime. Local authority planners should consider consulting the Director of Public Health on any planning applications (including at the pre-application stage) that are likely to have a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of the local population or particular groups within it. This guidance can be viewed at the following links:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/consultation-and-pre-decision-matters#Statutory-consultees-on-applications" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/consultation-and-pre-decision-matters#Statutory-consultees-on-applications</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/health-and-wellbeing#health-organisation-contact" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/health-and-wellbeing#health-organisation-contact</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Where consulted on planning applications, PHE takes the view that emissions from such plants are best considered as part of the associated environmental permit application. PHE is consulted by the Environment Agency and provides an independent opinion on all bespoke environmental permit applications, such as municipal waste incinerators, with regard to public health impacts. These assessments cover a range of emissions to air, water and land, including but not exclusively particulate matter.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2019 answer text <p>As previously set out, HM Treasury and IPA do not centrally hold a complete set of funding allocations and cost data for individual capital projects, whether funded by central government or by the Devolved Administrations, or jointly. By the same token, HM Treasury and IPA do not have data on what proportion of funding for projects in the Devolved Administrations comes from central government and DAs’ own capital budgets. However, HM Treasury and IPA do publish <em>aggregate</em> capital spending allocations for departments and the Devolved Administrations, as well as more granular detail on infrastructure investment, for example in the recent <em>Interim Response to the National Infrastructure Assessment</em> at Budget 2018 and the <em>National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline</em> in November 2018.</p><p> </p><p>Aggregate capital spending allocations to departments and the Devolved Administrations in past years are published in <em>Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses 2018</em> (p.26). Further regional breakdowns of capital spending by economic category, including for the Devolved Administrations, are published in Chapter 9 of the same document.</p><p> </p><p>Aggregate capital spending allocations for future years to 2020-21 are published in the <em>Budget 2018</em> document (p.23). The Government will set capital budgets beyond 2020-21 at the Spending Review. The Government will also publish further, more detailed information on infrastructure in the full response to the National Infrastructure Assessment later this year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss grouped question UIN 213975 214522 214524 question first answered 06/02/2019 13:49:57 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
