  • This is what three top expert firms chose as the BEST site for a NEW local Hospital in Hemel. Zoom in on the image below.
  • This plan was drawn up by these independent professionals the last time the NHS looked at the future for our Hospital, in 2016-18
  • It would use part of the existing Hospital site – see the area in blue
  • It would be on the corner of King Harry Street and Hillfield Road, very close to the Marlowes and bus stops
  • To start with, ‘Option 2’ would provide the services currently at the Hospital 
  • BUT IT WOULD HAVE TWO MAJOR ADVANTAGES OVER THE CRAMPED MARKET SQUARE OPTION:
  1. There would be plenty of room for dedicated parking
  2. There would be plenty of room for the expansion of facilities that will be necessary as our population grows and ages
  • The plan would allow room for over 400 apartments (in yellow) but recent planning changes mean the number could be reduced.
