Plans for new information hub at Eastbourne hospital approved

The proposal will see an existing cabin, used as a flower shop, replaced with a new cabin to be used by Macmillan Cancer Support as an information hub.

According to plans the new building will be situated within the car park area.

The proposal was approved by planning officers who stated the cabin would ‘support the wider function of the hospital’.

The officers report stated: "This use is considered compatible within the hospital setting and will support the wider function of the hospital.

"The application site is within the hospital ground and will have no impact upon the highway network.

“The cabin will be located on an area of land adjacent to the parking area on a verge and will not impact upon the functionality of the car park.”
