Planning Approval for World Leading Veterinary Hospital at West Longbridge

The planning approval is a significant achievement for the site as it is the first commercial development submitted for planning following the £20million infrastructure investment at West Longbridge. The new facility will act as a keystone for Longbridge West, creating a world leading veterinary research and development centre.

St Modwen’s objective was to create an attractive gateway to Longbridge Business Park and the new West Works residential neighbourhood. The design was developed to provide great presence to the site and express a modern high-quality design to create a distinctive landmark.

The design has been carefully considered and planned to set a high quality benchmark and support future redevelopment of the area. GNA believe this scheme will act as a catalyst for the regeneration of Longbridge West. The design, materials, and massing endeavours to be a key contribution to the area.

The new hospital will create 150 highly skilled jobs for the area and will feature research, treatment, diagnostic, laboratory and administrative spaces. It will also have the latest medical equipment including CT and MRI scanners. St Modwen will commence construction of the project in 2022.
