On behalf of East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT), the application is for 12 Museum Street which would offer an extra service for patients.
The trust will be undertaking significant investment at 12 Museum Street to provide increased, more efficient and more cost effective healthcare services to "improve the level of care and experience for the existing and future catchment population of Ipswich and the surrounding areas."
Planning documents state that the three-storey building will be repurposed, with the proposals seeking to include six blood bays, one private blood bay, one MRI suite, seven consultation rooms, one ultrasound room, one ultrasound and treatment room, one CT scanning suite and clinical support.
Developers said: "The proposed Museum Street CDC will support those in most need in Ipswich.
"With a seven year life expectancy gap compared to less deprived areas in Suffolk, the CDC will aid in supporting early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and late-stage cancer diagnosis.
"The Ipswich CDC will diagnose complex health issues earlier, keeping the local population in better health and avoiding onward attendances and admissions to Ipswich Hospital."
