Raj Medical Centre
The £1.6 million development was completed in nine months. The new site meant the practice was no longer operating in conditions which were inadequate, had no car parking and were non-DDA compliant. It also meant the practice could plan and accommodate the anticipated expansion of their patient population.
The Brief
To design, build and finance a 900m2 primary care centre to house 3 GP practice serving over 4,500 patients
Negotiate and manage a complex land purchase involving multiple stakeholders including the Earl of Yarborough and a neighbouring church
Deliver a design sympathetic to a prominent main road location while providing sufficient on-site car parking
Resolve a restrictive covenant and navigate a complicated site assembly process
Future-proof the building to accommodate anticipated growth in the patient population
What We Did
We managed a particularly intricate site assembly, resolving a restrictive covenant and negotiating shared access arrangements with the neighbouring church while keeping the project moving forward. Our team worked closely with NELC Planning officers to address concerns around traffic, access, design and local residents, securing planning approval efficiently and maintaining strong relationships with all stakeholders throughout. The design itself was carefully considered to sit comfortably in a prominent roadside setting, producing a modern facility that respects its surroundings.
