Hardwick Manor site planning permission - decision outcome

28 November 2022

The outline planning application for the new West Suffolk hospital was refused by the West Suffolk Council Planning Committee on 30 November.

We are evaluating the feedback received and considering the next course of action.

Gary Norgate, director for the Future System programme said:

“This is disappointing news for many of us. However, we want to thank our staff, patients and local community for their support so far.

“This outcome should not detract from the hard work of the team and the vital input provided by our local community. We will provide an update on next steps when available.”
