All rights reserved REGENERATING & DEVELOPING TALGARTH - A PROPOSAL BACKGROUND Talgarth is the north-eastern gateway to the Brecon Beacons National Park and defines the north-western frontier to the dramatic Page | 4 Black Mountains. A small market town in Mid-Wales, part of the historic county of Powys, close to the English border and located within the catchment of both the River Wye and River Usk. The town is within an hour’s drive of Abergavenny, Monmouth, Cardiff and Newport. Swansea and Port Talbot are less than an hour and a quarter away as are the English cities of Bristol and Hereford. With strong connections to pre-history and having well established trading links with the surrounding area for many centuries, Talgarth is now a growing centre for tourism and enjoys an outstanding scenic environment. A 13th century Peel Tower, a relatively simple fortification for settlements unable to sustain a castle at the time, still stands ‘en garde’ close by the stone bridge over the River Enigg at the centre of town. St Gwendoline’s, the lovely fourteenth century parish church, one of two in the area dedicated to St Gwendoline, eleventh daughter of Brychan Brycheiniog, the legendary 5th-century king of the region for which Talgarth is thought to have been the capital. With a strong sense of community there are over 40 locally based organisations centred on cultural, sporting, musical and heritage topics. Other organisations concentrate on regenerating the town, encouraging enterprise and organising the annual Festival. The community is supportive and caring, having suffered a substantial economic decline following the closure of the Mid-Wales Hospital, the major employer in the area, in 1999. ©Copyright 2016 - Talgarth & District Regeneration Group. All rights reserved REGENERATING & DEVELOPING TALGARTH - A PROPOSAL In late 2007, the town bypass (A479 Talgarth Relief Road & Bronllys Bypass) opened to the benefit of thousands of motorists and truck drivers. The town hoped for new commercial developments to bring new business and employment opportunities. But the global economic crisis of 2007/8 and its aftermath destroyed any immediate hope of regenerating the town. Page | 5 Now, nearly a decade later, there are visible green shoots of economic recovery for the town. Talgarth & District comprises thirteen separate communities: 1. Bronllys 2. Felindre 3. Llandefalle 4. Llanelieu 5. Llanfilo 6. Llyswen 7. Pengenffordd 8. Sorgwm 9. Talgarth 10. Three Cocks 11. Trefecca 12. Trefeinon 13. Waun Fach The Talgarth & District map is visualised at: Appendix 1 - page 25. ©Copyright 2016 - Talgarth & District Regeneration Group. All rights reserved REGENERATING & DEVELOPING TALGARTH - A PROPOSAL POPULATION PROFILE According to the 2011 census, growing again after a period of decline, the Talgarth population now stands at 1724. Page | 6 The shape of the Talgarth and district community is diverse and intricate with a considerable influx of residents from the Welsh valleys and from over the English border in recent years. A detailed demographic profile of Talgarth & District appears at Appendix 3 on page 27. In summary, following the 2011 census, the statistical data identified with the area includes: • The total population of 1,724 demonstrates a 4.8% upward trend from the previous census of 1,645 in 2001, compared with an upward trends of 5.1% in Powys and just 0.03% across Wales over the same period. • It has yet to be ascertained if the percentage of children and/or the disabled is increasing or decreasing. MID-WALES HOSPITAL Originally opened in 1903 as the Brecon and Radnor Joint Counties Lunatic Asylum, the facility was dedicated to treating patients from the counties of Brecknockshire, Radnorshire and, after World War II, Montgomeryshire. The 'asylum' was extended and renamed the "Mid-Wales Counties Mental Hospital" before the commencement of World War II. The facility finally closed in April 2000 with the loss of some 500 jobs that had a devastating impact on the Talgarth community. The main buildings, outstanding examples of late Victorian public works architecture, have been vandalised and stripped of valuable assets over the past fifteen years. Recovery from this episode was severely hampered due to the fall-out from the global economic crisis of 2007/8 and it is only ©Copyright 2016 - Talgarth & District Regeneration Group. All rights reserved REGENERATING & DEVELOPING TALGARTH - A PROPOSAL in 2016 that the community sees opportunities to re-invigorate the town and start to plan for the future. TALGARTH MILL & BAKER’S TABLE The watermill, restored in 2011 as part of the BBC's “Village SOS” TV programme, is a thriving community enterprise at the heart of the town, offering stone-ground flour milled on site from locally grown grains. On the same site is the Baker’s Table producing Page | 7 freshly baked artisan bread using the mill’s flour and offering locally sourced foods in the coffee shop. ©Copyright 2016 - Talgarth & District Regeneration Group.

To assist and demonstrate accord by the diversity of the Talgarth & District community 15. To deliver prosperity and a sense of well-being to the Talgarth & District community ©Copyright 2016 - Talgarth & District Regeneration Group. All rights reserved REGENERATING & DEVELOPING TALGARTH - A PROPOSAL TEAM TALGARTH Page | 9 There are many organisations and clubs within the Talgarth District but communications between them is often non-existent. To improve communications between all sections of the community it is proposed that an umbrella organisation is formed to coordinate a strategic approach to developing the town and surrounding district for the benefit of the community. Consideration might be given to forming a not-for-profit company, limited by guarantee, to protect those running the company from any personal liability for the company's debts. Any such company to be action led, not a talking shop, to deliver projects agreed by the community for the benefit of the community and to act as a catalyst to deliver agreed actions. ©Copyright 2016 - Talgarth & District Regeneration Group.

ADDRESS Former Mid Wales Hospital, Hospital Road , Talgarth CONSULTATIONS/COMMENTS Consultee Received Comments Powys County The Cabinet considered a report on the potential Council Executive impact on Council services of a large scale Cabinet development proposal at the site of the former Mid Wales Hospital in Talgarth. The Cabinet was agreed on the need for a co-ordinated response and a constructive dialogue with the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority. Management Team would discuss the issue to ensure that there was a co- ordinated response from services. The Board resolved that the Leader responds on behalf of the Council as follows: Taking all matters into account, the Council is concerned that with the significant residential element proposed, the scheme is out of balance with the stated aims of BBNPA policy, which seeks to maximise and promote the economic reuse of the site for the benefit of Talgarth and wider area.

  • National Assembly for Wales to Urge the Welsh Government to List Or Otherwise Protect Buildings of Note on the Former Mid Wales Hospital Site
    P-04-365 Protect buildings of note on the Mid Wales Hospital site – Correspondence from Members of the public to the Committee William Powell AM Petitions Committee National Assembly for Wales Dear Mr Powell, The petition P-04-365, lead petitioner John Tushingham, “We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to list or otherwise protect buildings of note on the former Mid Wales Hospital site. Unlisted but in the Conservation Area they are an invaluable part of the architectural and social heritage of Talgarth.” is still under consideration. The committee has been extremely helpful in this matter for which I am most grateful. The Mid Wales Hospital is within the Talgarth Conservation Area and on the local list but I am wondering, in light of the renewed threat to the buildings, if it could be possible to ask Cadw to reconsider listing? A statement written by Judith Alfrey of Cadw 16 July 2012, in response to a request from SAVE, gives a brief assessment of the historic and architectural interest of the former Mid Wales Hospital, Talgarth, explaining the basis of the decision not to list, but setting out the understanding of where its interest lies. Three years have passed since this statement was made and Cadw’s website tells me: A key element of Cadw’s heritage regeneration activity is action related to heritage assets in a deteriorating condition. We have been working to identify the number and type of listed buildings at risk in Wales. Between 1840 and 1914, only buildings of a definite quality and character qualify (especially those which are the significant works of principal architects).

  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. B20 - LLANGORS Introduction 1. The present community of Llangors is located in south-eastern Brecknockshire. Its topography is defined by the broadening vale of the northward flowing afon Llynfi, which at Llangors forms the largest natural lake in Powys. To the southwest, this valley is bounded by Allt yr Esgair; to the east it is bounded by Mynydd Troed, Mynydd Llangors and Cefn Moel at the western edge of the Black Mountains. The B4560 runs through the community, which is otherwise served by a network of unclassified county roads that generally run north-south to each side of the geographical barrier that is formed by the afon Llynfi and Llangorse Lake / Llyn Safaddan. Llangors is defined as a 2nd tier settlement in the Brecon Beacons National Park Unitary Development Plan, while Llanfihangel Tal-y-llyn is defined as a large village in the Powys Unitary Development Plan. The remainder of the population lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the two rural settlements defined in the Powys Unitary Development Plan: Llanwern and Talyllyn. 2. Apart from its north-western third, this community lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park. 3. The community has a population of 1,045, an electorate of 871 (2005) and a council of 12 members. The community is warded: Llanfihangel Talyllyn with 340 electors and four councillors; Llangasty Talyllyn with 161 and three, and Llangors with 370 and five. The precept required for 2005 is £7,000, representing a Council Tax Band D equivalent of £14.99. 4. In the 1985 Review, the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales formed a new community of Llangors by merging the then small communities of Llanwern, Llanfihangel Tal-y-llyn, Llangorse, most of the then community of Llangasty-Talyllyn and the northern half of the then community of Cathedine.
