    Tom serious talk dude, this would be the biggest money pit you've ever seen, as the top comment says, the Council will burst your bubble before you get going. If it's been available for a year, do some pre-application advice with your local LPA. There's a reason these are derilict. Planning permission for these places will be an unbelievable nightmare. Contamination is possible on here meaning you'll require large surveys and serious planning conditions to contend with. Bat surveys will be a nightmare. Biodiversity net gain is likely to kick in with something like this as it'll definitely be a 'major' planning application for any works and material change of use. That's before even considering that this may be a non-designated heritage asset wherein any adaptive reuse will be required to reflect the histroic nature of the place. Turning it into a playground will not be supported by the Conservation officers and given the location to become a viable business the transient nature of the site may not be supported. God forbid you actually pull it off only for an OCG to decide that your mill is their new dumping ground for waste forcing you to accept it and then burning it down when they're finished. Viability though... viability is the issue here. Your dream is great but seriously please please stop looking at these old mills!

      And there is no market where you could add 2.5m worth of value and it sell. Nearly every house or area has a cap and what you're suggesting isnt realistic.
      A top floor apartment is appealing because i've lived in this house for 10 years and love it, but I also worked in LA in a old factory setting and love it and always dreamed of living in one. And this one im showing you now is in a quite neighbourhood, as you saw by the beautiful lake.

    I'm no expert, but renovating that mill is going to be a massive and time consuming project and will cost so much more on top of the asking price of 2.5 million pounds. I totally see why you think it would be amazing once it’s finished, and I’m sure it would be! But it feels like you might be chasing a dream from your younger days. You’ve already got a wonderful life with Lydia and Alfie that you’re building together. From what you’ve mentioned about the secret project, I could see it being more of a cozy, homely endeavor, something that could become your forever home. Plus, you’ve talked about wanting a garden for Alfie and any future kids, not a top-floor flat with years of construction ahead. It must be such a confusing time as this is all you've ever wanted but you have been working so hard on making this secret project happen. I’m not trying to tell you what to do; I just hope you make the decision that’s best for you and your family ❤️

    I 100% agree with you Tom, there is no more depressing thought than losing our old architecture just to throw up bland houses.
    The university i studied at took over a bunch of old mills and repurposed them for the computing and engineering departments, and I loved every second of studying in them. So much character, and they preserved old stories in them too.

You're a very smart lad and I'm sure you know way more about the project that you'd admit to us but us as supporters just don't want you to fail too harshly. We'll support you in no matter what venture you take on and if nothing goes to catastrophically wrong then it would be an incredible thing to achieve. Big respect for having that dream and fully going for it mate.

  • @artisanbinks1205
    @artisanbinks1205 Месяц назад

    Its bazar to see Tom exploring this, i grew up in the village and always loved the mill when it was full of businesses, stuff and activity. I must have walked past it thousands if of times in my life The vision being laid out in this video is surreal as its what i have long hoped for and felt the site needed since it went out of use all those years ago. Amenities, offices things for people to do and to use and bring interest to the site. It is a mill of historical significance, to see it raised the the ground would be a heinous act, but unless someone like Tom saves it i fear it will be the eventual outcome. But as others have stated be very careful jumping in head deep into a big project that may just unfortunately be too expensive to save.
    The underground areas are quite sizable used to house traders and workshops of all sorts.
    One of the bigger areas was a discount store a while back and was renovated back then i want to say around 2010.
    The office building where you stood on the blocks was a business up until the site closed and there were many more in there.

    Tom, spend the money on your current home or even knock it down and build a fully new house and make it a home. The house you have now was your bachelor house, not your home. It's time to be a dad and think about what's best for your son and gf. Build them the dream house and also add some stuff you want. The car extension, a proper pool, good garden with zip lines etc.
    It's time to put the old dream on the shelf and focus on the current dream that is already in your life....your son. Focus on what's best for them

    gonna spend 2.5 mil on buying it and at a minimum double that just to do up half of it , its a great investment opportunity but not worth selling down all your assets including your house while you have just started a family , stress on the family would be through the roof , understand u want a project to blow ppls socks off but this is so much work which i don't think you realise , all the buildings would need major structure work if not knocking down , would be fighting for planning permission , but i would wanting to be doing same if i was in yout shoes

Anyhoo I work in the appliance industry and honestly Bosch are one of the best I've worked with, however do some research as the entry level units aren't German made. Spend a bit extra and get made in Germany. Excellent appliance, also that pipe on the wall would work perfect with the condenser dryer hose. I really hope the Mill happens, I'm thinking the whole Cassell family lives there. That would be incredible. All the best lad, keep it going.
