Jefferson Sheard Architects is pleased to announce that full planning permission has been granted for the new Hampton Medical Centre on land north of Silver Hill, Hampton Hargate, Peterborough.

Replacing the practice’s existing premises within Serpentine Green Shopping Centre, the purpose-built facility will bring together clinical, training and research accommodation in a modern healthcare environment designed to serve Hampton’s growing population.

A central glazed reception and waiting area connects two wings of clinical accommodation, creating straightforward, intuitive routes through the building. Entrances from the main car park and Serpentine Green Shopping Centre provide convenient access from both sides of the site.

Fronting Silver Hill, the building responds to the scale and character of its surroundings through a carefully composed mix of one- and two-storey elements. Mixed buff brickwork complements neighbouring development, while bronze-coloured standing-seam cladding and curtain-wall glazing give the principal entrance a clear identity and bring natural light into the central waiting area.

Landscape is integral to the design. A welcoming entrance courtyard, perimeter planting and a rear garden provide accessible green spaces, protect privacy and soften the building and parking areas. New tree planting will continue the established boulevard along Eagle Way and contribute to biodiversity across the site.

The scheme is designed for phased delivery. Phase one will establish the medical centre and associated external works, while phase two will provide additional clinical accommodation and six self-contained studios for medical students. The first phase has been designed to read as a complete building while allowing for future expansion.

David Legg, Regional Director at Jefferson Sheard Architects, said: “This is a project I’m particularly excited about. As Regional Director of JSA’s Peterborough office, and living close to the site myself, I know how quickly the area is growing and how important developments like this are for the local community.

It is also great to see training facilities and student accommodation forming part of the plans, supporting future healthcare professionals as well as the community they will serve. We are proud of the quality of the design developed with the client and wider project team, and look forward to supporting the scheme as it moves into its next phase.”

Dr Salman Khan GP Partner from Hampton Medical Centre, said: "Securing planning permission for the new Hampton Medical Centre marks a major milestone in our vision to deliver enhanced healthcare services for the Hampton community. The new facility will provide modern, fit-for-purpose accommodation that enables us to expand clinical capacity, improve the patient experience and support the future development of healthcare professionals through dedicated training facilities. We would like to thank Jefferson Sheard Architects and the wider project team for their collaborative approach in helping to bring this important project forward, and we look forward to progressing to the next stage of delivery."

Sustainability measures include a fabric-first energy strategy, photovoltaic panels and sedum green roofs. The landscape proposals will achieve more than 10% biodiversity net gain while supporting sustainable drainage and active travel.

Planning permission was granted by Peterborough City Council on the 29th of October 2026.

Jefferson Sheard Architects looks forward to continuing its involvement as the project progresses towards delivery.
