Initial groundwork to create a new hospital in County Durham has commenced.
Construction of the new hospital in Consett, which includes a 16-bed in-patient rehabilitation ward and urgent treatment centre, is expected to be completed by 2028/2029.
The project received planning permission in 2023 but has been plagued by delays and inflated costs.
Now, local developer Project Genesis confirmed it has formally secured detailed planning permission for the new Shotley Bridge Hospital at the Derwent View site in Consett.
