There were protests outside the surgery before it was eventually closed and demolished THE site of a demolished doctors’ surgery could become council housing instead of student flats. The prospect was raised by councillors at a planning committee meeting yesterday last week as they discussed the old Willow Surgery site, in Bevendean. The owner of the plot, in Heath Hill Avenue, on the corner of Auckland Drive, has planning permission for student flats with 24 bedrooms. A condition of the planning permission, granted on appeal in May 2015, required a temporary surgery to be built – on neighbouring Farm Green – during construction of the flats.
Cllr Sue Shanks, inset, said the council fell below expected standards after it was found to be at fault by the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman A DEVELOPER who hopes to build student flats on the site of a former doctor’s surgery has re-applied to the council to relax a key planning condition. Heath Hill Student Developments was unsuccessful in February when it asked Brighton and Hove City Council to drop the requirement for a replacement surgery on the site. Now the company wants to remove the requirement to provide a temporary surgery during construction. The requirement is one of the conditions attached to an existing planning permission to build a block of 24 student bedrooms.
Patients battled to keep Willow House surgery open but it was eventually demolished A DEVELOPER planning to build student flats on the site of a popular GP practice wants to ditch plans to build a replacement doctors’ surgery. Heath Hill Student Developments said there would be a replacement for Willow House surgery - known as The Willows - which was torn down amid protests from patients. The company was granted permission for a 24-bed development on the site on Heath Hill Avenue, Bevendean, following an appeal. At the time, planning inspector Stephen Papworth said that a proposed new surgery had given “significant weight” to the appeal.
