Plans have been submitted for the expansion of a medical centre near Ipswich.

If approved by East Suffolk Council, four new clinical rooms could be added to The Embrace formerly known as The Birches medical centre in Kesgrave, after plans were submitted this week.

As well as the new clinical rooms, two new offices which will serve as virtual consultation rooms would be built at the Twelve Acre Approach site.

Changes to the landscaping of the medical centre and a reconfiguration of the existing parking of the area are also included in the plans.

The expansion of The Embrace will only consist of a single storey, with an area of 156 sq m will be extended off of the single storey wing of the centre.

In the design and access statement on behalf of the centre, the designers of the expansion said: "Kesgrave’s population has grown significantly in recent years and with the growing demands on Primary Care settings to increase their offer of services to the local community, our client, Primary Health Properties (PHP) have identified the need to extend The Embrace".
