Redevelopment of Weybridge Health Campus
Emerging Proposals
“The Weybridge Health Campus will offer the community of Weybridge and surrounding areas a range of health and wellbeing services to meet local population needs.
The state-of-the-art building will provide accommodation for the Phoenix Family Practice along with services such as maternity, same day urgent care and diagnostics.”
The scheme design is based on the following key objectives:
To provide a permanent residence for the Phoenix Family Practice and other local health services.
​
​
​
​
To provide a building and outdoor environment that incorporates best practice in relation to high quality design.
​
​
​
To optimise daylight and sunlight and to provide a relationship with the external green space that will benefit patients, visitors and staff in the building.​
​
To provide a purpose-built, modern healthcare facility that is fit for purpose and provides flexibility to meet the changing healthcare needs of the local population in the short, medium and long term.
To embrace the principles of access for all.
​
​
​
​
​
​
To promote the use of sustainable means of transport.
​
​
​
​
To introduce innovative space provision that embraces technology and new ways of working that facilitate the delivery of high quality, accessible services.
​
​
To embrace and promote sustainability during construction and operation by providing an environmentally responsible and responsive design solution.
​
To provide a therapeutic environment that provides an exemplar healthcare experience for all service users.
​
​
​
To position and design the building on site so that it can harness the natural environment to reduce energy consumption wherever possible.
​
The proposals seek to demolish and replace the existing temporary structures of the Health Centre with a partial two-storey building comprising approximately 2,240 sqm of floorspace and space to support separate mobile diagnostic units.
​
The layout has been developed to ensure that the patient and visitor experience is of the highest possible quality. There will be a wide range of users in the new health centre and it is critical that the building is accessible to all, easy to navigate and provides an uplifting and reassuring environment.
​
As a result of previous feedback received, the proposed layout of the building within the site has been amended.
This increases the separation distance between the building and the residential properties on Minorca Road, as well as ensuring the main building entrance aligns with the main pedestrian and vehicular entrance to the site, off Church Street, offering better views.

The proposals also comprise the provision of pedestrian, cycle and vehicular access and parking to meet the needs of staff and visitors. In order to promote the use of sustainable means of transport, a reduction in car parking spaces across the site is proposed, and cycle storage facilities provided.
The building is of a high quality design that sits comfortably within the existing plot as well as creating a vibrant and attractive public space within Weybridge Town Centre. Increased soft landscaping features and tree planting are proposed across the site with an overall reduction in hardstanding.
The scheme is also of a low energy design. Photovoltaic panels are provided at roof level in order to promote sustainability through the use of renewable energy sources.
