North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust has reached agreement in principle to acquire approximately 6 hectares of former Cambridgeshire Constabulary land and associated highways land in a major step forward for the Hinchingbrooke Hospital Redevelopment Programme.
The acquisition represents a significant milestone in plans to develop a modern new hospital at Hinchingbrooke, which was added to the New Hospital Programme in May 2023, and will provide the land required to deliver critical infrastructure that supports the future redevelopment programme.
The land (located in the top right of the photo) will, subject to planning consent, enable the creation of a new access road, approximately 682 parking spaces, environmental mitigation works and low-carbon energy infrastructure, helping prepare the site for future development and construction activity.
The redevelopment programme is designed to address the challenges associated with ageing hospital infrastructure while ensuring healthcare services can continue to meet the needs of a growing population across Huntingdonshire and surrounding communities.
The project will also help improve access to the hospital site and support measures to reduce congestion in the surrounding area, benefiting patients, visitors, staff and local residents.
