Manchester City Council is to sign off a regeneration strategy this week to diversify and revamp the hospital’s estate and incorporate commercial and residential elements within the site.
A joint venture between Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and developer Bruntwood intends to transform Wythenshawe Hospital into a “sustainable health village”, which would include a complete upgrade of the hospital’s ageing estate.
Following a period of public consultation, the city council is expected to approve the overarching strategic regeneration framework for the project on Thursday.
Much of the existing hospital site is “dense and disjointed”, according to the draft framework, which aims to address multiple challenges faced by those who use the hospital by reducing distances between facilities, and improving the public realm.
