South West Acute Hospital

State-of-the-art 315 bed acute hospital on a 16 hectare site with 785 car parking spaces and including the main hospital building, energy centre and key workers accommodation.

Issues Encountered

• The need to demonstrate that the proposed height and built form of the development proposal would not have a negative impact on the surrounding landscape
• Ecological issues, bats traversing the site
• Traffic and parking arrangements

Our Involvement

We project managed the full Article 31 major planning application and Environmental Impact Assessment for the Northern Ireland Health Group.

We proactively liaised with the Strategic Projects Unit Team in Planning Service Headquarters to ensure that all design, ecological and traffic issues were identified and addressed pre submission in order to obtain full planning permission within a seven month timeframe for this major project.
