Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust has submitted plans to Kirklees Council requesting planning permission to build a new Accident and Emergency (A&E) building at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.
The modern building will be sited on the hospital’s South Drive off Acre Street and will provide 24/7 emergency care with its own parking area. It is hoped that subject to planning approval building work can start later this year.
