• Develop a series of management plans to inform a development strategy for the watermill and surrounding area

Our Solutions:

• A feasibility study, conservation plan, Health & Safety reports and environmental assessment to feed into an overall development strategy for the Council
• Strategies to combine cultural and industrial heritage with environmental sustainability to benefit both local residents and visitors.
• Recommendations including interpretive messages, a sensory garden and trails and the sensitive re-use of nationally significant historic buildings

The outcome:

The site has been recognised as a potential beacon of regeneration and environmental good practice for the South Leeds Regeneration area.
