An artist’s impression of how the new residential development might appear once built.

PLANS have been revealed for 56 new homes on the site of the old Westbury Hospital that was closed  in 2012.

Permission was granted by Wiltshire Council in 2016 for the hospital to be demolished and up to 58 homes  built on the site.

Wiltshire-based Backhouse,  an independent, design-led housebuilder has announced that they intend to submit plans for a high-quality, residential development at the site.

Backhouse, which has its offices in Box near Bath, presented its plans to Westbury Town Council’s highways, planning and development committee last month on December 18th.

The Backhouse residential development comprises 56 homes, a reduction from the 58 that the site has gained outline planning consent for, all of which are being designed by Stirling Prize-winning architects AHMM. The layout focuses around several communal open spaces, bringing variety and character to the development and ensuring a sense of place and community.

Theo Backhouse, founder of Backhouse said, “We are committed to creating an exceptional new residential area for Westbury. The hospital site means a lot to the local community and as part of our plans we will be preserving the foundation stones of the existing buildings to ensure the history of the site is remembered for generations to come.”

The plans will be submitted to Wiltshire Council in the coming weeks.
