Liongate Construction Consultancy has been appointed to prepare a Demolition Method Statement and an Outline Construction Logistics Plan for replacement roof works on the Newham University Hospital campus in East London. Work is underway.

Our appointment

The proposal is to replace the existing pitched roof on one block of the hospital campus with a profiled metal-clad flat roof with a perimeter parapet, as part of the hospital's Fire Safety Programme. The scheme has been through a pre-application meeting with the London Borough of Newham; no planning permission is claimed here.

The Demolition Method Statement responds to the council's pre-application feedback, which asks for one to accompany any future planning application. It will set out how the existing roof is taken down safely and in a controlled sequence on a working hospital campus.

Because the works take place around the hospital's day-to-day use, logistics are central. The Outline Construction Logistics Plan will set out how deliveries, removal of the existing roof and site access are managed around the campus and the surrounding roads.

It follows the London Borough of Newham's Demolition and Construction Logistics Plan guidance, covering site context and access, a phased programme of works with the plant and vehicles each stage needs, vehicle routing, site layout plans and measures to reduce the impact of construction traffic.

Liongate was appointed in October 2026. Our work on both documents is underway; they have not yet been submitted to or approved by the council.
