Emerging Masterplan

The updated masterplan has responded to community feedback, viability concerns and heritage inputs, with a focus on what can be delivered now and secured for the future.

The planned changes include:

Retention of the east and west mill buildings with some building repairs and maintenance to secure them for development in the future
Gateway building to Brougham Road with it’s scale increased to maintain a street frontage for the development, echoing the dominance of the existing four storey mill
Glazing the southern gable of the retained eastern mill exposing the original structure to express its industrial past
Additional parking to the east, with multi-layered parking to the west, working with the site levels and secured for future development

The preferred approach would deliver key aspects of the scheme now and further elements in due course. This approach reflects community, heritage and stakeholder feedback to date. It includes:

Up to 50 homes in the upper floors of the Mills and the new building fronting Brougham Road

A food retail unit of 3,500sqft fronting Brougham Road

Small space light industrial uses in the eastern part of the site- new build (7,300sqft)

A mix of non-food retail, restaurants, office, medical, education, workshops, studios, gallery and professional services in the lower floors of the Mills, conversion of the existing Brougham Road frontage buildings and new build space (61,340sqft).

New walking and cycling routes through the site to increase permeability

Landscaping and public realm improvement opportunities

A range of car parking solutions to meet future needs

A vision for

New Mills
