As part of a wider strategy, several sites occupied by former hospitals were released by the government to be regenerated and developed into low to medium density housing estates.

The West Park Hospital site is surrounded by forest and heathland. The outer ring of buildings of Edwardian style as well as the water tower have been retained and listed. In response to the grand character of the existing layout, wide avenues with large set backs form the armature of the new development. All properties are designed to achieve good eco ratings..

Site area: 15.5 hectare
Total units: 360 houses and flats
