Earlier proposals and history

There was no relevant planning history for the application site, and the scheme was substantially revised to address residential amenity and movement concerns.

“It is intended the new facility will replace the existing Enderby Medical Centre premises on Shortridge Lane/King Street (which does not have a pharmacy) and which is considered by the GP Partners at Enderby Medical Centre to be unsuitable for modern primary care and cannot be modified to accommodate long term clinical requirements. The proposal has evolved significantly since its original submission.”

There is no relevant planning history for this application site. Planning history relates to the former Danemill School (Adult Education Centre). 4.”
