£20m rehab clinic gets the go-ahead

Gedling Borough Council has unanimously approved Delamere’s planning application for a new residential addiction treatment clinic in Bestwood, Nottingham, which will create over 50 local jobs.

The £20m development, located at the former Nottingham Fire and Rescue Service site, will offer a 28-day treatment programme for up to 32 guests struggling with addiction.

It will feature a wellness suite, gym, sauna and therapy rooms.

The healthcare provider claims it will be the UK’s largest investment in addiction treatment.

Set to open in Q1 2027, Delamere is working with architects and designers to bring the facility to life.

Martin Preston, Founder and chief executive at Delamere said: “We are thrilled by the committee’s decision to approve our plans for Delamere’s second site unanimously. Our development represents a huge investment and opportunity for the borough, and our ambitions for the Bestwood clinic to be a flagship in Europe.

“At Delamere, we have a very clear purpose – anyone can recover from addiction with the right help – and in five years we feel that we have proven our proposition. Identifying the right location for our second site has been something we have worked hard at for several years, and so we are excited to be allowed to create something the local community can be proud of.”
