While attention is focussed on what's going to happen to Bronllys Hospital, a planning application has been before the planning committee for Talgarth Hospital, that sad shell of a place which used to be the mental hospital.
After years of deterioration and neglect, there was a plan to knock down several of the original buildings, and build 103 houses and a care home (yes, another care home). There was a campaign against this plan in Talgarth, and this week the B&R reported that the plan had been refused permission. One of the reasons was that only 6 of the houses would be "affordable". There are also problems with access on very narrow roads.
So it seems that nothing is going to happen on the site until someone comes up with another plan - and in the meantime that fine Victorian building is rotting away.
