Chase Farm Hospital redevelopment

• The trust is planning to redevelop Chase Farm Hospital, to

deliver 21st century healthcare and to provide world class

care close to where our patients live.

• Many of the buildings at Chase Farm Hospital are in a

poor state of repair and the site urgently needs to be

redeveloped.

• We plan to build modern, high quality healthcare facilities

while re-using the surplus land to provide new housing, a

primary school, public spaces and other facilities. The

proceeds from surplus land sales will help fund the

redevelopment.

Engagement with stakeholders

• Stakeholders’ events - 21July, 22 September

• Tenants’ meetings - 28 July, 29 September

• Residents’ events - 28 July, 29 September

• Some of the comments we received at the September

events are detailed in the following slides.

• We have Trust staff and expert consultants here today to

respond to these questions during the course of the

presentation.

Residents’ event - 29.09.14 • Very good keep it going!

• Fantastic displays, good information from all staff

• Excellent turn out - well done

• I hope the plans you are putting forward will come to pass,

so that the services remaining at Chase site will become a

modern clean hospital

• Think this is a great way to improve existing services whilst

being self-funding and sufficient. Would like to see more of

the funds generated from the land sales go into local

community initiatives

Residents’ event - feedback cont.

Some positive points but we know from your questions below

we have more to do.

• Can the future healthcare needs of Enfield people be met

by the proposed redevelopment?

• Concerned about the impact on local services e.g. GP

practices, water pressure, parking, traffic as there will be

an increase in population - if a school is built extra traffic in

already busy times and parking is already an issue in local

roads

• To keep some character with this development, every effort

should be made to keep the Clocktower building

Residents’ event - feedback cont. • I hope there will be affordable housing included

• Very concerned about how traffic/transport will be planned

and effect on surrounding area. I would like more concrete

evidence that decreased parking spaces will not lead to

increase in free parking in local residential areas

• I am concerned that the large tree in front of the

Clocktower building should remain

• Disappointed there wasn’t a presentation for residents

• Old peoples home should be on site or part of the

residential area

• Inform more what will take place at Chase Farm in the

press and leaflets

Progress of scheme to date

• Strategic outline case with Department of Health (DH)

for comment and feedback

• Progressing design of the healthcare facility (ALE)

• Ongoing regular master planning meetings every two to

three weeks with Enfield Council

• Continuing engagement with local residents, tenants,

staff, Enfield Clinical Commissioning Group, Barnet

Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust, Transport for

London

Accelerated learning event

• A two-day event held to focus clinical input to support

the design and shaping of the new healthcare campus

• 127 clinicians and senior managers from across the

trust attended

• Actions from the event taken forward in to work-streams

and clinical engagement continuing as design develops

Proposed master plan

Total site 39 acres

Hospital 17 acres

School 4 acres

Surplus 18 acres

Proposed master plan highlights

• New hospital

• New housing

• Improved internal road network

• Three-form entry primary school

Indicative plan of healthcare buildings

Utilisation of healthcare buildings

How the healthcare building will be utilised

• Compact modern design

• Floor plate designed to maximise clinical efficiencies

• Key adjacencies between functions and departments

• Horizontal and vertical patient flow

Indicative residential layout

Residential highlights

• Design guide will be in place to ensure a consistently

good quality

• Main residential avenue will follow the route of the

existing internal road but will be enhanced with trees

landscaping and planting

• A mix of housing types will create a varied community -

affordable housing

• There will be a focal point at the interface between the

housing and hospital

• Public open space and green spaces will provide

amenity areas

Proposed three-form entry primary school

• Primary school places needed

• Timetable

• Temporary solution and permanent school building

• Location relative to mental health facilities

Access Transport and Servicing The Trust recognises that this is an area of potential concern:

• The Trust has carried out a Transport Assessment which

includes results from traffic and parking surveys.

• The Trust will develop a Travel Plan for the Hospital which

will include targets and measures to reduce car

dependency.

• The Trust will embrace measures to encourage staff to use

public transport, walk or cycle.

• Car parking.

• Better bus facilities will be provided including new bus

stands, drop off and pick up points

Construction impact on hospital services

• The existing hospital and services will remain in operation

throughout the construction process.

• This will be achieved through a carefully phased

development control plan.

• All services will continue as normal

Construction - measures to minimise impact on local residents, patients, visitors and staff The trust is committed to working in a neighbourly way that

minimises disruption to all affected parties. Measures that will

be put in place include:

• Signing up to the Considerate Constructors Scheme

• Using ‘best practice’ to keep noise and dust to a minimum

- sheeting and watering during demolition to suppress

dust, attenuated plant to minimise noise and undertaking

noisy works in short periods during agreed hours

Construction - quality of life for local residents, patients, visitors and staff - cont.

• Wheel-washing all vehicles leaving the site and regular

road cleaning.

• 24-hour helpline during works on site

• Issuing regular newsletters and updates

• Establishing a resident’s liaison group
