Bronllys Well Being Park Housing Feasibility Study

The Bronllys Well Being Park held their AGM recently - I think they did it on Zoom - and part of the AGM was a long and detailed document on the need for affordable housing and what the Well Being Park could do about it.
They identified a need for homes for key workers, and for older people. The grounds of Bronllys Hospital could provide the land to build up to 100 houses, over several years, which would include sheltered accommodation for older people with live in carers.
The proposal for this is a 25 unit new build, rather than re-purposing existing buildings within the Hospital complex. These would be a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom flats and houses. They would be family homes for families with members who need to be cared for, with a shared kitchen, dining room, play area, lounge, library, workshop and laundrette, with a possibility of specialist bathing facilities and something they call a Namaste room. The complex would be fully accessible and also adapted for people with dementia. It would also include a garden for growing vegetables and fruit.
They also want to renovate the chapel, which is Grade II listed, and which could be used as an arts centre, as well as the home of a community local radio station.
One idea for the building of new homes is Co-housing, which is an idea from Scandinavia where residents collaborate to design and manage the community, with some shared facilities between the homes.
A survey of local people showed that there was a demand for two bedroomed houses, and that a main reason for moving away from the Talgarth/Bronllys area was for better access to public transport and shopping.
