BRONLLYS: THE NEXT TEN YEARS (2020-2030)
Located near the “top” of the site and inspired by the Ein Berllan (Our Orchard) at the University Hospital site in Cardiff, this could provide fresh fruit for the community on the site and the surrounding communities as part of a Growing Club, which can expand to include vegetable growing and bee-keeping. The existing orchard with its rare apple varieties is already being brought back into full use by a local group and would be augmented with other varieties such as damsons, pears and other fruits including berries. Two or more areas of allotments are proposed and could be managed by a Growing Club.
6.5.13 Community Transport Hub
This is located next to the Hub and is intended to be the principle stopping point for rechargeable community bus services. Other stops would be provided around the site, (for example close to the Chapel and the Bron Home), bringing easy access from remote settlements into the centre and other parts of Bronllys Community Hospital. This would complement and support the Bronllys-based re-chargeable community transport network for local villages, offering connectivity for treatment, shopping, employment and cultural events, cutting down on loneliness, social isolation and carbon emissions. Timebanking volunteer drivers could sustain scheduled vital links.
6.5.14 Concert Hall##
It is proposed that the current uses for the existing Concert Hall be continued and augmented, bringing back such activities as bowls and badminton and becoming one of a number of social centres on the site. It could be equipped with cutting-edge technology to enable a number of functions, including training – as now – and small conferences. Showing films and offering theatre facilities could again become part of the local community cultural scene.
6.5.15 Day Hospital##
It is proposed that this would be re-housed in a new, purpose-designed building within the Health Campus and next to the re-housed Llewellyn Ward. This would continue to prevent unnecessary admissions, enable early discharge from hospital as well as undertaking its other essential roles. Central to this valuable work will be the range of NHS professionals who work in the Day Hospital.
6.5.16 Housing
Two storey housing is proposed in three areas of the site, by the Community Orchard, immediately south of Ty Bronllys and near to the wooded area close to the main entrance. Like the co-housing, it would offer a mixture of tenures including purchase for life, shared-ownership and social renting. The “open-market” house sales would cross-subsidise the capital cost of shared-ownership and rented units. “Open-market” homes would follow the principle of alms-houses and not be re-sold at a profit. There would be minimum 50% affordable units with “blind” tenancy models, as all homes
