A PRIVATE hospital has finally gained permission to embark on an expansion programme.

Holly House Hospital, in Buckhurst Hill High Road, had had a previous application for more departments, bedrooms and parking spaces turned down but a revised plan has now been accepted.

The newly expanded building will contain a new radiotherapy department, relocated physio department and ten extra beds among its new facilities.

It will employ 32 extra staff with 12 new parking spaces.

More to follow.
