A statement has been issued on plans to demolish two buildings at a city hospital. Plans were recently put forward for two buildings at Nottingham City Hospital to be knocked down.
One plan, to take down a prefabricated concrete panel structure building which was used as a Leisure Centre at the City Hospital was approved on March 8 by Nottingham City Council. Another proposal was recently put forward for the demolition of the Stroke Research Unit at the hospital.
Andrew Chatten, Director for Estates and Facilities at Nottingham University Hospitals, confirmed planning applications had recently been submitted for demolition of two buildings at the City Hospital. A spokesperson for Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) said: "This is not part of the Trust’s longer-term plans for the future of the hospital site through the Tomorrow’s NUH programme, simply that the two buildings are in very poor physical condition and it is uneconomic to repair them for alternative uses."
