P+HS Architects and leading offsite manufacturer McAvoy have confirmed that the Lynfield Mount Hospital New Build and Refurbishment project has received Full Business Case approval from the Department of Health and Social Care, marking a major milestone for the £65m redevelopment scheme.
The green light enables the project to progress to construction stage – starting the transformation of Lynfield Mount Hospital into a modern, therapeutic mental health facility that better supports service users, staff and the wider Bradford community.
The scheme will deliver a combination of the refurbishment of bedrooms on two existing wards to achieve 100% en-suite provision, alongside the construction of a new modular two-storey ward block, providing more modern inpatient wards, improved clinical and therapeutic spaces, and enhanced staff environments. The design supports contemporary models of mental healthcare, prioritising dignity, safety, recovery and long-term flexibility.
Co-produced with Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust’s service users and clinical and estates teams, the design places patient wellbeing at its core. Access to natural light, views, outdoor space and calm, legible internal layouts have all been carefully considered to create an environment that supports recovery while enabling high-quality clinical care.
Cath Lake, Director and Mental Health Lead at P+HS Architects, said: “This project represents a significant step forward in the design of forward thinking, therapeutic mental healthcare environments. Funding approval from the Department of Health and Social Care reflects the strength of the clinical vision and the collaborative approach taken by the Trust and project team. We’re proud to be working alongside Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust to help create a facility that supports recovery, wellbeing for patients and staff.”
