New state-of-the-art NHS mental health care unit
P&DG has successfully managed the hybrid planning application for a new, modern Mental Health Unit at Glenfield Hospital, Leicester, achieving unanimous approval by committee vote. This project, appointed by the lead contractor, Tilbury Douglas, on behalf of the NHS Leicestershire Partnership Trust, will transform a 3.42-hectare site into a cutting-edge facility, featuring four adult acute mental health wards, an urgent care hub, and a neuromodulation centre. The initiative is part of a larger strategy to upgrade the hospital’s infrastructure, replacing the outdated Bradgate Unit to meet contemporary mental health care needs. This approval covers full permission for the service road and outline permission for the new building, ensuring a comprehensive approach to development.
