WE WANTED to let you know a bit more about the plans to redevelop the Nelson Hospital and car park site. The plans would see a new “local care centre”, car park (with 68 car parking spaces to the rear – 26 for patients) and an assisted living care home (with 21 car parking spaces). You can see more about our views from where the plans were first mooted here.

The Local Care Centre will retain the existing Pavilions, but the assisted care facility will involve demolition of all other existing buildings on the site.  Other alterations include new landscaping to Merton Rush, Blakesley Walk and Kingston Road.

Have your say on this planning application

We are keen that as many residents as possible have their say on this issue so that the planning process reflects what people want. The formal planning application and all the related documents can be seen on the Council’s “planning explorer” here.

Email your comments to the planning officer ([email protected] ). You have to include you full name and postal address as well as the planning application number, which is 12/P0418.

The deadline for comments is the 21 March.

Please feel free to copy us in as well, so we know what your views are – [email protected]
