and live on Freeview channel 276
Calderbrook Estates Limited is seeking planning permission to make the changes, converting a mill building used as a warehouse and an existing home at Wm Woods Exors Limited at Lambert Street.
The proposal is to form seven homes across the whole site, says a heritage statement prepared for the applicant by chartered architectural technologist Jason B Wade.

Until 2023, the mill has been used to manufacture unique car parts for pre-war vintage cars.
The main mill building connects into a house that was occupied by the owner until 2023.
The house was originally four separate “one up and one down” homes but has been merged into one dwelling sometime in the past.

The new homes will be achieved by splitting the existing house into two houses, while the three-storey mill section will become three flats.
The former terraced houses will become two new houses with the addition of a small “cat slide” extension.
The single storey workshop buildings will be demolished to form amenity space and car parking.
For the most part the external appearance of the group of building will not change, says the supporting statement.
