Planning permission has been granted for the new Hampton Medical Centre in Hampton Hargate, Peterborough.
The purpose-built facility will bring together clinical, training, and research accommodation in a modern healthcare environment designed to serve Hampton’s growing population.
The scheme is designed for phased delivery. Phase one will establish the medical centre and associated external works, while phase two will provide additional clinical accommodation and six self-contained studios for medical students. The first phase has been designed to read as a complete building while allowing for future expansion.
Sustainability measures include a fabric-first energy strategy, photovoltaic panels, and sedum green roofs. The landscape proposals will achieve more than 10 per cent biodiversity net gain while supporting sustainable drainage and active travel.
David Legg, regional director at Jefferson Sheard Architects, said: “This is a project I’m particularly excited about. As regional director of JSA’s Peterborough office, and living close to the site myself, I know how quickly the area is growing and how important developments like this are for the local community.
“It is also great to see training facilities and student accommodation forming part of the plans, supporting future healthcare professionals as well as the community they will serve.
“We are proud of the quality of the design developed with the client and wider project team, and look forward to supporting the scheme as it moves into its next phase.”
Dr Salman Khan GP, Partner from Hampton Medical Centre, said: “Securing planning permission for the new Hampton Medical Centre marks a major milestone in our vision to deliver enhanced healthcare services for the Hampton community. The new facility will provide modern, fit-for-purpose accommodation that enables us to expand clinical capacity, improve the patient experience and support the future development of healthcare professionals through dedicated training facilities. We would like to thank Jefferson Sheard Architects and the wider project team for their collaborative approach in helping to bring this important project forward, and we look forward to progressing to the next stage of delivery.”
