HSE granted permissions for changes to Primary Care Unit

Westmeath County Council planners have granted permission to The Health Service Executive for alterations to one of the buildings they own on the St Lomans campus.

The HSE made their applications for the extension and alterations to the Primary Care Unit, which is a protected structure, to change its use to office space for HSE staff.

The building, located at Delvin Road, Springfield, Mullingar, Westmeath was previously the nurse’s home.

The proposed works will consist of the removal of an existing plant room, and the construction of a new 135 square metre three-storey extension on the north side to provide stairs and lift access to the existing building at first and second floor level.

Additionally, there will be general refurbishment, and reconfiguration works on all three levels of the main building, along with a surface level car park with 26 spaces to rear of the building on the west side, an entrance canopy and associated site works

The local authority planners granted permission subject to seven conditions.
