A bid by NHS Property Services (NHSPS) to demolish the structures at the back of Kirkley Mill Health Centre in Lowestoft and create 40 new parking bays has been given the go-ahead.
Proposals lodged with East Suffolk Council in July said it would improve insufficient car parking at the clinic on Clifton Road.
The plans were permitted under delegated powers this week.
There are currently three car parking areas at the health centre containing 74 parking bays.
But with an increased numbers of users, documents said: “This is resulting in patients being late or missing appointments entirely, which is putting further strain on the NHS system.”
The buildings set to be demolished are at the back of the health centre and are currently vacant.
The main surgery building is unaffected by the plans.
The new parking area also includes two EV chargers and external lighting for the car park.
With no objections, approval was granted with conditions.
A delegated report from the council’s case officer said: “Increased parking at this NHS site would be a public benefit.”
