Manchester based architects MBLA Architects + Urbanists have received planning approval for a new Health Centre in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Sited on Ashgate Road, on the edge of the town centre conservation area, the new facility will be the new home for the Avondale GP surgery and the Little Acorns day nursery. The centre will also provide a base for a range of health related organisations complimenting the GP practice and a new pharmacy.
Demolition of the existing Manor College buildings has already commenced and construction of the main building will commence in spring 2012 following the selection of a main contractor.
