Former Hotel To Become State-Of-The-Art Health Centre
Our team has secured planning consent for a state-of-the-art healthcare facility in Richmond, south-west London.
Permission has been granted for the first site of a pioneering new property-backed business focused on post-operative rehabilitation & recovery for Bridges Fund Management Ltd and Renaiss Health.
The former Richmond Inn Hotel, which has been closed since March 2020, will be redeveloped into a state-of-the-art centre.
The existing ‘building of townscape merit’ (BTM) on Sheen Road is being retained and significantly improved, including the construction of a new extension wing to the rear, with dedicated physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and occupational therapy suites. The building will provide high-quality accommodation, where clients receive tailored programmes of physical rehabilitation and 24-hour recovery care.
As well as making environmental upgrades to the existing historic building and removal of non-original features, a lush courtyard garden is proposed which will be at the heart of the facility. Whilst the exterior of the building responds directly to the language of the BTM, the courtyard elevations wrap the beautifully planted courtyard with contemporary detailing and high-quality materials.
The building will target BREEAM Excellent and also undertake the WELL certification programme, which seeks to deliver schemes that are beneficial for health and wellbeing both during design & construction, and when the building is operational.
Construction is due to commence shortly, with opening planned for early 2025.
