Description
Planning
The property comprises a substantial multi-storey Grade II Listed mill complex of buildings grouped around a courtyard. A large two storey mill (1851) runs South-East to North-West, with 3 and 5 storey mill buildings together with a series of single storey sheds between the mill buildings which are also included but would likely be demolished as part of any redevelopment of the site.
The property is allocated under the Local Plan as being situated within the Greenbelt. A Viability Assessment has been undertaken and the vendor has been given a positive indication of support from both Historic England and the Local Council’s Conservation Officer to convert the mill complex into residential with some selective demolition of the lower and less visually impactful elements and a proportion of sympathetic new build within the site curtilage.
A drawing of a possible redevelopment of the site is shown.
