en.Wedoany.com Reported - The trust received final approval from the Department of Health and Social Care in January 2026 to proceed with the redevelopment plan for the main building of Lynfield Mount Hospital. The project is being carried out in phases, covering planning, construction, and renovation, with an overall cycle of approximately three years. All hospital services will remain operational during construction.
The first phase of the project focused on preparatory work, including the construction of a new staff car park, a woodland health trail for visitors, the temporary relocation of the main entrance, and the demolition of existing properties and facility offices. The redevelopment team has now officially commenced the foundation work for the second phase, which will involve building a new two-story, two-ward building on the hospital site, with all wards equipped with en-suite facilities, as well as renovating the common areas within the main building.
In March 2026, the trust signed a contract with McAvoy, a market leader in precision manufacturing of modular buildings in the UK and Ireland. McAvoy began preparatory work for the second phase at Lynfield in April of the same year. Martin O’Neill, Contracts Director at McAvoy, stated that the company is proud to participate in the groundbreaking of this significant redevelopment project and to help create a modern mental health facility. He noted that their off-site manufacturing approach supports flexible healthcare accommodation delivery while maintaining quality standards and reducing on-site disruption. He looks forward to working closely with the trust to create an environment that benefits patients, staff, and the long-term future of the hospital site.
The second phase is expected to be completed in autumn 2027, after which the third phase will commence. The entire redevelopment project is currently scheduled for completion in early 2029.
