THE long-awaited redevelopment of Severalls Hospital looks set to be kickstarted next week.
Colchester Council’s planning committee will run the rule over the first phase of the transformation of the former mental health hospital at a meeting next Thursday.Landowners the North Essex NHS Foundation Trust and the Homes and Communities Agency have applied to build 248 homes on a corner of the site close to Mill Road.
If they get planning permission, they intend to sell the plot of land to a developer and expect other homebuilders to come in and buy the remainder of the site.
