Plans for temporary buildings at Nuffield Hospital Chichester approved

The proposed Portakabin buildings will be of a temporary basis at the hospital on Broyle Road and will be used as additional office and toilet space.

The units will be in place at the hospital for 260 weeks and will be used to relocate some of the hospitals internal functions.

Seven car parking spaces will also be lost at the hospital due to the temporary works.

The application had, however, raised some concerns among the local population.

Mr John Heyworth of Norwich Road said: “I would like to urge the hospital to communicate about works they undertake; to be sympathetic to local residents.

"The recent electrical substation works the hospital commissioned has been excessive.

"This development does seem to be in the way of the scanning unit works, if not the development itself.”
