Planning & Obesity symposium - Fuse_PHE report
About this event
The symposium brings together important collaborative work that the PHE Healthy Places, and Obesity and Healthy Weight teams are working on and undertaking in partnership with external colleagues to support efforts to tackle obesity through the English spatial planning system. It builds on PHE's 2020 guidance on using planning powers to promote healthy weight environments.
The Symposium highlights work on developing research evidence and evaluative practice to inform English national and local policy development and to support planning practice in local authorities and localities.
