FMS3 – Boundaries Surgery LAA Reference Site Size (Ha) Existing Use Proposed Future Use

FM-032 0.1 ha Health infrastructure (doctors’ surgery) No change – extension proposed

Site Description Boundaries Surgery is an existing doctor’s surgery serving the surrounding settlement of Four Marks and South Medstead. The site is located on the southern side of the main Winchester Road (A31), close to the junction with Boyneswood Road. The site is surrounded by residential properties, with larger properties to the south and east. The surgery is set back from the road with a small area of parking in front of the building. Pedestrian footpaths are present on both sides of Winchester Road, with a signalised crossing point and bus stops to the west of the surgery, close to the main shopping parade of Four Marks.

FMS3 – Boundaries Surgery List of constraints & opportunities •

Access: potential to access the facility via public transport (bus) and on foot, although no additional parking provision within the site would be feasible.

•

Infrastructure: there is an opportunity within the site to extend this strategic health infrastructure and support growth.

•

Residential amenity: due to the proximity of adjoining dwellings, particularly to the north on St Margarets Mews, there is the potential for adverse impacts on the amenity of existing housing.

•

Flood risks: there are no identified flood risks for this site.

•

Built heritage & biodiversity: no designated constraints to development.

Summary of Reasons for Inclusion Boundaries Surgery is a key health facility in Four Marks. It is currently over-capacity and population growth would exacerbate this further. A small extension to the rear of the surgery, coupled with internal reconfiguration would enable this surgery to expand its clinical space to meet the healthcare needs of the community, and to ensure that the facility is fit for the future. The surgery is centrally located close to other services and facilities, and is accessible by footpaths and rights of way within Four Marks. Nearby bus stops enable travel by public transport. There are opportunities to encourage walking and cycling to access the facility.

The extension and internal reconfiguration of this surgery is considered essential infrastructure.

Funding The project has been allocated £330,000 of CIL funding (2023), and developer contributions will be collected for this proposal from developments in the area (where appropriate), to help deliver this project.
