Description

Linden House is a vacant 3 storey building, originally built as accommodation for nurses working within the adjacent former psychiatric hospital (now converted into houses and apartments). It has been vacant for many years after closing in the 1990s. The site is rectangular with a northwest to southeast axis. The design of the proposed new building follows the orientation of the existing building fronting Bennetts Rise (facing west) with private gardens on all sides and car parking at the front. The proposed ridge height is approximately 12.2m.

The site area is approximately 0.367 acres /16,000sqft.

Central London is approximately 40 miles to the north and the A23 is within 5 miles to the west accessed via the A272.
