Welcome to our project website

Over the past 10 years, the Buntingford & Puckeridge Medical Practice partners (BPMP) have explored a range of options for the redevelopment of the existing surgery at White Hart Close. The Partners have considered the viability of redeveloping the existing site and have worked with the Town and County Councils to explore and consider several alternative sites in the town to locate a fit for purpose, modern, future-proofed facility that extends the range of services provided to the Buntingford community.

The land north of Hare Street Road offers the opportunity to deliver a new doctor’s surgery up to twice the size of the existing premises, as well as providing the right infrastructure and access to support existing patient demand. It also has the potential to provide additional ancillary medical services and will allow the potential to extend or renovate at a later date to accommodate anticipated future demand.

Taylor Wimpey and BPMP have an agreement to work together to try to secure planning consent for this mixed-use development. The new Buntingford Surgery will be constructed prior to the first house being built on the land as part of an infrastructure first approach by Taylor Wimpey.

The provision of approximately 200 homes helps enable the new surgery to be delivered through the provision of access and utilities that have to be provided to the site, as well as allowing financial viability through reduced land acquisition costs.
