Babington Hospital site is a significant landmark in the town of Belper extending to circa 4.2 acres (1.7 ha).
The site comprises several predominantly stone built buildings, the first of which is the original workhouse which was constructed in 1838. The infirmary was added in 1889 and the Meadows Suite, to the south, was opened in 1938.Various annexes and extensions have also been constructed over time.
A number of the buildings located on the site are Grade II Listed.
Positive pre-application discussions held for conversion to over 70 residential units.
Part of the wider site is being retained and redeveloped for a new Health Centre. Vacant possession of the hospital is subject to completion of this building which is anticipated late 2025.
