Plans lodged for new medical centre in village

Documents said the existing centre was "cherished"

Plans have been submitted for a new medical centre in Enderby to meet the needs of the growing population in the area.

Developer One Medical Property has lodged plans with Blaby District Council to build a medical centre and pharmacy on land in George Street, less than 100 metres from the existing centre in Shortridge Lane.

According to the plans, the proposed centre would be built by the developer, which would then lease the site to Enderby Medical Centre.

Documents submitted to the council state the current building, while "cherished" by the community, had reached its capacity.

According to the plans, the medical centre would have 13 treatment rooms and would be capable of serving a population of 12,000.

The documents added: "With the local population growing and healthcare needs evolving, a new building is essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of our practice.

"The new facility will offer improved accessibility, expanded services, and a more comfortable patient experience."
