Green Light for Rutland’s £3.5m Medi-Tech Centre at Oakham Enterprise Park
Rutland County Council’s Planning and Licensing Committee has officially approved planning permission for a brand-new £3.5 million Medi-Tech Centre. Located at Oakham Enterprise Park, this state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility represents a major leap forward for rural health and care provision, bringing key clinical services and diagnostic capabilities closer to local residents.
Designed to complement existing NHS and local health services, the centre will integrate clinical care, diagnostic facilities, and opportunities for health technology research and innovation all under one roof.
State-of-the-Art Facilities and Sustainable Infrastructure
Spanning approximately 915 square metres across two storeys, the new development will deliver a comprehensive range of clinical and commercial spaces:
The ground floor features modern consultation rooms, two operating theatres, specialized diagnostic facilities, and dedicated recovery spaces. It will also host a dedicated bay for a mobile MRI unit to improve access to diagnostic scans.
The first floor offers flexible, multi-use accommodation for healthcare professionals, health technology businesses, and research and development partners.
The centre includes 40 parking bays (featuring accessible spaces and EV charging points), dedicated cycle and motorcycle parking, a patient and ambulance drop-off zone, and enhanced pedestrian routes across Oakham Enterprise Park.
The centre will be managed and operated by Patient Care Locally CIC (PCL), focusing on innovative approaches tailored specifically to rural communities while driving skilled employment and economic growth in the area.
"The Medi-Tech Centre is about supporting the health and care sector in Rutland and helping to bring more services closer to home. It will provide facilities for clinical services and diagnostics, while creating opportunities for research and innovation that can benefit health and care across our county."
Cllr Christine Wise, Leader of Rutland County Council
During the planning process, the Council-submitted application underwent key design revisions to enhance pedestrian access, parking layout, and the overall aesthetic of the building, securing approval with no outstanding statutory objections.
With planning consent secured, the project moves into its next exciting phase inviting healthcare, education, and technology partners to collaborate.
"Receiving planning permission for the Medi-Tech centre in Rutland marks an important milestone in bringing this exciting project closer to reality. The centre has potential to deliver innovative healthcare solutions, support the local community and create new opportunities for collaboration across the healthcare education, research and technology sectors.
We are now looking forward to working with partners and businesses who share our vision and are interested in being part of the centre's development."
Danah Cadman, Chief Executive Officer at Patient Care Locally CIC
