Below are details of the Planning Application for the new hospital and the sale of the land for over 1,500 new homes.

The Planning process means we have until June 13 to submit our objections. These have to be submitted via the LBWF's Planning web site and you have to register before you can submit your objection - just your name and address, so make sure you register now.
The Mayor and the Greater London Authority
Barts Health have submitted their plans to LBWF where the Planning Officer scrutinises them and ensure they comply with the LONDON PLAN and the LOCAL PLAN. The PLANNING COMMITTEE will later in the year decide if the plans are acceptable.
Meanwhile THE MAYOR looks at the plans and issues a STAGE 1 REPORT in which he assesses the scheme and says what improvements he wants to see.
This is sent to the council and the Planning Committee make their decision. This is then passed onto the Mayor for the STAGE 2 Report and if the Mayor is minded he gives the final approval. This process will take months!
The main land use objections are:
2. A new Hospice should be provided to replace the Margaret Centre
3. Space is needed for after care - i.e convalescent facilities.
4. The massing of the hospital is too dense and does not create Barts Health's vision: "Our overarching vision is to create ‘a hospital in a garden and a garden in a hospital"
5. Space for Key Hospital Worker homes is essential for the staffing of the hospital.
6. Space for expanding the hospital in a crisis e.g. pandemic, fire etc.
7. Future Health Service facilities.
