Mixed-use plans submitted for mill development in Chipping, Lancashire
Plans have been submitted for a mixed-use scheme in Chipping, Lancashire, which will include two new hotels, a spa, a cricket pavilion and a trailhead centre on the site of a former mill.
The Grade II listed Kirk Mill – to be operated by Living Ventures – will be converted into an 18-bedroom hotel with a restaurant and gastro pub, while the existing barn will be turned into seven holiday cottages and a new ‘barn style’ building will provide 20 additional hotel rooms, a gym and spa facilities.
A public outdoor area to host events including a regular farmers’ market promoting local produce from the region will act as an anchor for the development.
The trailhead centre will cater for outdoor enthusiasts and feature a café, while new footpaths and cycle routes will be added in the area.
Chipping cricket club will also be relocated to a bigger purpose-built facility to the south of the development.
"The application represents a major opportunity for both our client and the local community,” said Richard Barton, an associate at the project's developers HOW Planning.
“The proposed development will transform a significant historic building which has remained empty for a number of years, while also bringing new investment and long term benefits to the village of Chipping."
