As you may know the site
to the east and rear of 1 Mill Lane is in poor condition following
last summer when most of the vegetation and trees on the site were
stripped away. We have been working on a scheme which will result in
the land being acquired from the current owner and the open space
restored to a green, biodiverse state. This is something we believe
strongly to be in the public interest.
It is however only possible to achieve our aim through enabling
development. We have been designing a residential building
comprising flats and houses massed along the Mill Lane frontage and
enabling a significant new green open space to be created to the
rear all the way back to Minster Road. The dilapidated building at 1
Mill Lane will be demolished as part of our proposals.
Over the last few months we have been talking to the Council and to
some of the local residents however we feel it is now appropriate to
engage with a wider audience so that we can move forward to
submitting a planning application. We are keen to answer any
questions you may have about the scheme and we would welcome your
ideas and thoughts. |
