Conversion of mill building to create wellness centre, Brooke’s Mill, Armitage Bridge

Planning application 2020/91574/91575 
Conversion of mill building to create wellness centre, Brooke’s Mill, Armitage Bridge

The society applauds work carried out over the past few years to introduce new uses into the former textile mill. It fully supports this application which will further enhance the business, cultural and recreational mix that has been gradually created, ensuring the retention of a key building within a complex that remains both historically and architecturally important within the region.

The aim to achieve zero carbon and to increase biodiversity are also welcomed and do not compromise the integrity of the whole. Finally, the society recognises the fine commercial balance in achieving a viable proposal in a building that has stood vacant for many years and supports the comments made in the design and access statement.
