Go-ahead for UK hospital redevelopment

Redevelopment of the Chase Farm Hospital in Enfield, London, UK will begin in the spring of this year following planning consent by Enfield Council’s planning committee.

Enabling works for the £150 million (€193.6 million) redevelopment have begun, with completion of the healthcare building said to be completed in the summer of 2018.

The redevelopment – designed by architects IBI Group, TB&A and Thomasons – comprises a five-storey hospital including an urgent care centre, inpatients, eight theatres, day surgery, outpatient ambulatory care zone, imaging, diagnostics and supporting facilities.

IBI Group has also designed new housing and a new school in the area, while allowing for the future development of a new energy centre and multi-storey car park.
