4.1.4 How BWBP & Others Respond to these Challenges
The range of projects suggested for the Bronllys Community Hospital site addresses many of the above issues and aspirations raised by our communities and in the research of public bodies. It is clear that the size of the site and the scope of its facilities – natural and built – lends itself to creating a community capable of delivering on these needs and doing so in a realistic, financially robust and sustainable way.
In its range and with the emphasis very much on the many aspects of well-being, BWBP follows closely many of the principles laid out in the Well-being for Future Generations 2020 Report.
Please see Sections 5 and 6 below to see the detail.
4.2 Background
4.2.1 History of Bronllys Community Hospital
Bronllys Community Hospital is located in the former parkland of the Bronllys Mansion and was opened by King George V and Queen Mary in July 1920 as a tuberculosis sanatorium. In 1948 it became part of the new National Health Service and is currently in the ownership of NHS Wales, with Powys Teaching Health Board (PTHB) managing the site.
The Hospital League of Friends was established many years ago and has worked tirelessly to protect services at Bronllys Community Hospital. The Veteran’s Group has also been actively supportive, initiating such projects as the At Ease Garden, the Marking Time Sculpture and the Woodland Walk.
In May 2011, with significant funding from WG, PCC and PTHB, The Princes
Foundation published the results of an Enquiry by Design process commissioned by

PTHB, “A Vision for Bronllys Hospital Site” . This report concluded the following:
 “PTHB believes that there are exciting opportunities to deliver a sustainable vision for the regeneration of the Bronllys Hospital site and its wider context.
2 The suggestion is based on electric and hybrid buses and cars being able to recharge on the site, using
electricity generated there linking villages to existing transport networks as well as Bronllys Well Being Park. 3
