NHS report reveals six surplus sites in Bradford and Airedale

One is the Ingrow Centre at Kilmay House in Keighley, which is due to be marketed off this month and has a value of £150,000.

The premises comprises of a detached property, an individual four storey building extended with a single storey to two elevations.

The rear of the property has a stone extension too.

Another surplus site, on Lawkholme Lane in Keighley, was sold off in March 2018.

That was one of three that were part of Airedale General Hospital, with the others a redundant squash court and land regarded as Village Green Space.

Issues could delay the disposal of the the latter two though, such as investment needs and contamination. The current proposal is that they will be disposed of in 2021/22.

The remaining two sites not mentioned both fall under the Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust.

They are the land adjacent to Ashfield House on Thornton Road, as well as a site at Stoney Ridge Hospital in Cottingley.

The latter comprises of three Victorian stone-built buildings surrounded by woodland. The site is approximately 120m x 70m in size.

The report includes information on land and buildings which have been sold by the NHS, and land which has been retained but developed for housing.

Published yesterday by NHS Digital, it is based on data from all NHS trusts in England, including ambulance trusts, and reflects the position as at March 31, 2019.

This year, it has been published as an interactive data report for the first time.

The Surplus Land collection provides information on sites that can be disposed of and contribute to the Government’s Public Land for Housing Programme.

It can be used to monitor progress against the Government’s targets relating to the release of publicly owned land for housing.

This data collection relates to surplus and potentially surplus land owned by the NHS which is likely to be disposed of up to 2025 or beyond.
