Long awaited Horwich health centre which will replace three GP surgeries gets planning approval
Bolton Council’s planning committee unanimously backed plans for a new healthcare facility, on the site of the former leisure centre, which would replace three existing medical practices in Horwich, which have been considered to be no longer fit for purpose.
The development is also in collaboration with the Royal Bolton Hospital Foundation Trust Community Services. The report adds: “The applicant states within their submission that the development would enable the delivery of primary care directly to 10,500 Horwich residents whilst accommodating the provision of further community and extended services to the growing population of around 31,000 residents.
organisations within the neighbourhood, and that the facility would support the shift in services from hospital to community settings. It is proposed that the healthcare facility will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” The building will be to the north of the site, with its entrance facing the neighbouring Horwich Leisure Centre. Two vehicle accesses would be from Church Street and Victoria Road. 200 parking spaces are proposed within the car park, 101 for the proposed healthcare facility and 99 for the existing and adjacent leisure centre.
