A new hospital for the Forest of Dean

This Consultation closed on 17 December 2020. Further updates on the new hospital will be included here.

The development of a new hospital for the Forest of Dean remains a priority and an exciting opportunity for our community.

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is preparing to submit a full planning application for the new 24-bed hospital in Steam Mills Road, which will replace the existing Dilke Memorial Hospital and Lydney Hospital.

Drawings and designs for the building are being made public this week ahead of a Trust board meeting on Thursday 15 July to sign off the final business case for the new hospital. If approved by the Board, the Trust will then seek planning permission with a view to starting construction early in 2022.

Public comment on the plans is welcomed as part of this process. Click here to view the plans and provide your feedback.
