A number of notable planning applications and decisions were published by Peterborough City Council in July.
Outline plans were approved for a major 1,130-home development on the edge of the city.
Marks & Spencer revealed plans to expand its Brotherhood store in Peterborough, potentially creating 50 new jobs.
Meanwhile, the council submitted its own application to install mechanical pool covers at The Lido on Bishops Road.
9. Thorpe Wood Hospital
A planning application was submitted to Peterborough City Council for the erection of a new medical facility which would serve as an extension to Fitzwilliam Hospital on Milton Way, South Bretton. The new medical facility, which would be named Thorpe Wood Hospital, would provide more bed capacity for more complex surgical procedures as well as day case and community diagnostics. If approved, it would be located within the Thorpe Wood Business Park adjacent to Worldwide House, which is a large office building. Planning documents stated: “Due to increased demand and lack of capacity in the area, this investment is seen as being important and intrinsic to reducing the continued increase in patient waiting times and deferred treatment and diagnostic services in the community.” Photo: P+HS Architects
