Further Information

This project includes the provision of a two storey outpatient health centre on the site of Babington Hospital in Belper. The site is located within the Belper conservation area, and within the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World heritage site. EBLA is currently working within a multi-disciplinary team providing the landscape design for the external spaces including proposals to achieve biodiversity net gain.

Our landscape proposals include providing a sequence of external spatial experiences for visitors, staff and patients. A combination of colourful exotic planting close to the building and native species planting towards the site edges integrate the development within the surrounding Babington hospital and Derwent Valley setting, provide habitat for wildlife whilst also creating a distinctive sense of place and providing high quality open space for users.
