North Yorkshire Council has approved plans for a new galvanised steel oxygen bottle storage facility to be built at Scarborough Hospital.
A NEW oxygen bottle storage facility is set to be built at a North Yorkshire hospital following the approval of plans.
An oxygen bottle storage facility will be built at Scarborough Hospital after North Yorkshire Council approved the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s proposal.
The facility will be constructed out of galvanised steel in order to respond to “the arising requirement for oxygen bottles to be stored nearer to the hospital” at Woodlands Drive.
According to a design statement submitted by the NHS Trust:
“The visual impact to the surrounding area will be minimised by the size of the store, which will be set behind two reasonably large pine trees that mostly conceal the store from views from the hospital’s medical education building.”
The application site is 183 square metres and consists of a patch of grass which is enclosed by a concrete duct adjacent to a couple of pine trees.
The plan adds:
“The proposed gas cylinder store would appear significantly subservient amongst the immediately adjacent pine trees and the nearby Medical Education Building.”
The existing public right of way will remain unaffected in terms of access to the car park, while a hard landscaped pathway from the drop kerb positions goes to the store.
Council officers said the development was of an acceptable design and appearance in accordance with the principles of design.
Planners described the structure as “modest in scale, with a maximum height of approximately 2.4 metres” and added that it would “not give rise to any overbearing impact, loss of light, or overshadowing to neighbouring properties”.
The application was approved by North Yorkshire Council, subject to conditions.
