Plans have been submitted for an extension to Stevenage's Lister Hospital.
The three-storey extension would provide a new main entrance for the hospital, connecting to the existing entrance via a single storey link.
Planning permission is generally not required for extensions for hospitals, but East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust - which runs the hospital - has applied for a Lawful Development Certificate to confirm that the works would be lawful.

Two commercial units and unisex toilets would be included in the new entrance, while the first and second floors would be used for office space.
They would include space for desks, as well as pod seating, kitchenettes, meeting rooms and staff toilets.
A total of 1,843 square metres of floorspace would be added to the building.
Planning officers from Stevenage Borough Council will make the decision on whether to approve a Lawful Development Certificate.
