The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn has submitted plans for a brand new multi-storey car park on the hospital site.

It will go on the site of the hospital's existing main car park.

It's an early test of the ability of bosses to deliver on their number one wish - a full rebuild of the entire hospital.

If the planning application is approved, along with the funding, work could start next spring.

Laura Skaife-Knight, Deputy Chief Executive at QEH said: “We are very grateful for all the feedback we received during the engagement period – from our local community, partners and staff – which has been essential in helping develop and refine our plans."

"The simple truth is that our buildings are in a desperate state and have reached the end of their life and we must secure the necessary capital investment for a new hospital.

"The MSCP proposal is a critical component of the scheme and shows we are ‘investment ready’.

"Submitting our planning application, that takes into account the feedback we heard on the plans, is an important step in building our future.”
