Wiltshire Council has approved plans to redevelop the former Devizes Community Hospital on New Park Road. The NHS Property Services, which declared the site surplus to requirements, has signed a legal agreement with the council. The redevelopment aims to contribute to the regeneration of the wharf area, with plans to retain and restore the historic red brick hospital buildings.
On 30 January members of Wiltshire Council's eastern area planning committee granted planning permission for the redevelopment of the former Devizes Community Hospital on New Park Road.Planning permission was subject to a section 106 legal agreement between the council and NHS Property Services, which has also now been completed.
The site was no longer needed by the NHS following the relocation of services to the new integrated care centre on Marshall Road, the NHS Property Services decided the old community hospital was "surplus to the requirements of the local NHS". According to the plans, submitted back in 2022, it said the proposal was aimed at being part of "the successful regeneration of the wider wharf area".
"We are mindful of the contribution the historic red brick hospital buildings fronting New Park Road make to the character of the Devizes Conservation Area and we will retain and restore these as part of the development proposals," it added.Hospitals experience busiest week of winter so far
