Ryden to draw up former Royal Murray Hospital masterplan
October 2 2013
This follows delivery of a new hospital which has made the existing buildings, some of which are listed, surplus to requirements.
Work will now get underway with key stakeholders; including Perth and Kinross Council and Historic Scotland, with a view to submitting formal planning applications in March 2014.
Marc Giles, partner at Ryden said: “This is a significant contract for us as we are dealing with a major opportunity site currently occupied by a number of listed buildings. We anticipate substantial public interest in the project which offers the opportunity to deliver a high quality development in a stunning landscape.”
Ryden was appointed through its membership of the Regional Agent Partnership.
Discussions with local community organisations will inform the approach adopted
Unlisted buildings are likely to be demolished
