Plans submitted to convert Mutual Mills in Heywood into 240 apartments
Date published: 29 August 2017
Mutual Mills
An application for planning permission to develop Heywood’s historic Mutual Mills into 240 apartments has been submitted.
The scheme has been proposed by Leeds-based conversion specialist Priestley Homes.
Plans include a mixture of one and two-bed apartments across the two buildings, with a focus on original features being retained and refurbished, including the striking towers on each corner of the buildings and an original steam engine, originally used for pumping water into one of the mills. Glass panelling would be installed near the engine to showcase the site’s industrial heritage to occupants and visitors.
Nathan Priestley, CEO at Priestley Homes, said: “There are very few high specification apartments at this price point in Heywood.
“Without investment, the mills are at risk of prolonged neglect and being lost forever. This development would secure a long term future for a truly unique pair of buildings.”
If planning permission is granted, construction work is expected to begin in early 2018 and finish in spring 2019.
