NHS Lanarkshire’s exciting vision for a replacement University Hospital Monklands (see www.monklands.scot.nhs.uk for project info and more pics) has reached another milestone with the start of the process to seek planning permission.
The health board has announced that, as part of the process, it will hold a public consultation in March before submitting a planning application for its proposal to build the state-of-the-art new hospital at Wester Moffat, a picturesque site on the outskirts of Airdrie.
A Proposal of Application Notice, submitted today to North Lanarkshire Council, includes an outline of the pre-application consultation, which is part of the planning process for the Wester Moffat site. It also has information on the eye-catching Wester Moffat setting, proposed as the home to a new hospital that will be expertly tailored by architects to the scenic landscape, providing spectacular views and a healing natural environment.
