Temporary A&E units planned for Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital car park
Overview
The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital has submitted plans to South Norfolk District Council to install temporary modular A&E units in a car park. The temporary building, intended to be in place for one year, will allow critical treatment to continue while the existing emergency department undergoes refurbishment.
Key points
- Parts of the emergency department at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital are planned to move into temporary modular buildings.
- The temporary structure will occupy Car Park I for one year, resulting in the temporary loss of 42 parking spaces.
- The 250 sq m building will feature a reception, assessment areas, trolley bays, and toilets.
- Planning application documents have been submitted to South Norfolk District Council.
