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 Lynfield Mount Hospital redevelopment will transform the facility into a modern, therapeutic mental health facility that better supports service users, staff, and the wider Bradford community.
Led by P+HS Architects and leading offsite manufacturer McAvoy, the planning approval enables the project to now progress to the construction stage.
Transforming Lynfield Mount Hospital into a high-quality facility
The scheme will deliver a combination of refurbishing bedrooms on two existing wards to achieve 100% en-suite provision, alongside the construction of a new modular ward block, providing more modern inpatient wards, improved clinical and therapeutic spaces, and enhanced staff environments.
The Lynfield Mount Hospital redevelopment 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.
Meeting modern NHS operational standards
The Lynfield Mount redevelopment also aligns with wider NHS priorities around sustainability, quality of care, and long-term value, with the scheme designed to meet modern environmental and operational standards.
Therese Patten, chief executive of Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust, commented: “This is an important milestone for the Trust and for the people who rely on our mental health services.
“The redevelopment of the central block will bring significant improvements to Lynfield Mount Hospital, to create a facility that supports the recovery and wellbeing of service users, and a better working environment for staff.
“We have worked closely with staff, patients, families, carers and partners to develop our plans and ensure that the redeveloped site can support the needs of our local communities for years to come.”
