Search the Public Notice PortalTHE PLANS to bring a permanent MRI centre to Andover's hospital need amending.
An application has been submitted to Test Valley Borough Council to vary a condition of the original full planning granted to bring a permanent MRI centre to War Memorial Hospital.
The covering letter by Albion Planning said: "On 6th August 2025, a Section 96A Non-Material Amendment (NMA) Application was submitted in order to vary the approved scheme.

"Your officers subsequently advised that the proposed alterations would
not qualify as non-material amendments; they would make the approved unit larger and include a number of alterations that would be material changes.
"As a consequence, your officers advised that the correct procedure would be to submit a Section 73 application to vary condition 2 (approved plans).
"This submission is a response to this advice."
It continued: "The applicant is now looking to make a number of minor amendments in order to improve the functionality and operational efficiency of the proposal."
According to Albion, the amendments include those to the footprint of the building, its internal layout, and the installation of solar panels on the roof.
There are also amendments to the MRI centre.
Albion said: "The MRI chiller compound has undergone slight dimensional adjustments. All associated plant and servicing equipment have been consolidated within this compound, which is now fully enclosed with fencing and is accessible via a new secure gate located on the external pavement.
"Minor revisions to the external landscaping layout have also been made, particularly in the paved areas adjacent to the MRI chiller compound. These have been realigned to run parallel to the new fencing and provide safe, unobstructed access to the service area."
The original application was granted in March 2024, and earlier this July, dignitaries celebrated 'breaking ground' at the site.

Speaking then, Alex Whitfield, chief executive officer at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: "This valuable new addition to our Andover Community Diagnostic Centre will make a real difference to so many of our patients, improving access to diagnostic imaging and offering an even greater patient experience using the latest technology.
"We’re looking forward to be able to open the doors to this fantastic facility very soon – a big thank you to all our colleagues and partners who have enabled us to reach this major milestone."
The building is scheduled to be completed and operational by the end of 2025.
