4.9a How effective are existing statutory requirements and duties relating to cultural wellbeing in the planning process, and what additional levers or mechanisms could help safeguard cultural wellbeing during development?
Background
The significance of culture and heritage engagement in enhancing quality of life and wellbeing is well recognised, and steps have been taken to monetise these health and wellbeing impacts. However, further work is needed on these issues, and previous research has identified various areas of research to increase our understanding. Examples include distributional impacts, how intensity/frequency of engagement impacts health and wellbeing, and a better understanding of impacts in clinical settings.
