As a result, Public Health England commissioned the Due North Report which outlined new approaches in tackling health inequalities. This second paper outlines what has been learnt in five years as a case study. This includes influencing devolution deals and new elected city mayors, planning for economic growth in deprived areas and developing community asset-based approaches. The paper outlines a new framework for place-based planning to reduce health inequalities.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Sources of data<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Data was gathered from annual reports from north of England directors of public health, Office for National Statistics, Public Health England\u2019s fingertips database and regional and national publications and strategies such as the Northern Powerhouse.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Areas of agreement<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Devolution to English cities and councils as \u2018places\u2019 is a new opportunity to address local needs and inequalities. Due North has supported a new public health narrative which locates health action in the most fundamental determinants\u2014how local economies are planned, jobs created and power is to be transferred to communities and connects reducing years of premature ill health to increased economic productivity. Community asset approaches to empower local leaders and entrepreneurs can be effective ways to achieve change.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Areas of controversy<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The north\u2013south divide in health is not closing and may be worsening.
