Braintree District Council have just completed the process to transfer a plot of land located in Sible Hedingham to OneMedical Property, which means the construction of a new medical centre for the local community is one step closer!
OneMedical Property is set to proceed with the development of the facility that will replace the three GP surgery sites currently run by the Hedingham Medical Centre. The practice currently cares for around 9,000 patients, and the new facility will accommodate 12,000, including extended operational hours and better use of new technologies to provide virtual consultations for patients unable to visit in person.
When planning permission was granted to build homes on the old Premdor site, BDC secured the land as part of a Section 106 agreement for the development of a new medical centre.
With the land deal now finalised, OneMedical Property will soon be entering the final stages of the construction tender process. Following the award of the contract, work will begin on preparing the site, with construction set to follow shortly thereafter.
