Developers are making another attempt to convert Coventry offices into a private hospital, aiming to ease NHS pressure and improve patient care.
Coventry: Developers are back with a new plan for Ashford House. They want to turn those empty offices into a private hospital. If it goes through, it could help around 40 patients daily.
The hospital would focus on eye and foot health. They say it’ll ease the strain on the local NHS and cut down waiting times. Sounds good, right?
Last year, their first attempt hit a snag. Officials said the location wasn’t great for travel. There weren’t enough bus or bike links, and they had too many parking spots.
Despite some objections, planners think the idea has merit. They’ve now submitted a revised plan, addressing last year’s concerns.
The developers believe the site is in a good spot now. They’ve even reduced parking and added bike spaces. If approved, Ashford House could become a hospital or stay as offices. More info is available on the council’s planning portal.
