The application for outline planning permission to redevelop Chase Farm Hospital is available on the Enfield Council website (click on this link). Members of the public are able to submit comments up until 15th January.
The application seeks approval for the principle of the development, the amount of development, the maximum three-dimensional extent of development and access arrangements. If approved, these would form the parameters upon which future reserved matters applications would be based.
The proposal involves:
- the replacement of most of the existing healthcare buildings with a new building to accommodate services in a modern and more efficient manner;
- the retention of the existing multi-storey car park and Highlands Wing, both of these structures would be improved and extended;
- the provision of up to 500 new residential units; and
- the creation of a new primary school and the provision of temporary teaching facilities that will be used until the new permanent school facilities are available for occupation..
