The plans for the Estate include refurbishing the Victoria and Albert Mills to create 58 apartments, as well as demolishing Scotland Mill to create the New Scotland Mill comprising of 32, 2 bedroom duplex apartments overlooking Etherow Country Park.   The building will mirror the length, height and form of the original mill, using materials that complement the buildings being restored.
 
As well as the 58 apartments in the existing mills, plans include the creation of 29, 3 and 4 bedroom new build bespoke family houses, 2 bedroom apartments within existing buildings and 25,136 sq ft of flexible commercial space.
 
The scheme, which is located within the Green Belt and forms part of the Compstall Conservation Area, will be served by Hydro Power generated from the River Etherow with a minimum Eco Homes target of Very Good.
 
The scheme will also benefit from a new clubhouse for Etherow Country Park Sailing Club which will provide the opportunity to improve the configuration of the boat yard and provide public access through the Estate.
 
Plans also include the creation of a high quality public realm which improves linkages to the Etherow Country Park and retains the feeling of an industrial past ina unique envirornment.

Ask Property Developments would like to thank the local community of Compstall for participating in the first stage of public consultation on the proposed regeneration of the Compstall Mills Estate.

Over 100 people attended our 3-day public exhibition at St Paul’s Church Hall last November and provided us with feedback on our emerging regeneration strategy. We have also been sent comments and suggestions by email, post and via the comments page on this website. We are now in the process of putting together a detailed regeneration proposal and this feedback is helping to inform our work.

We will be inviting the local community to participate in a further period of consultation on our detailed proposals in the next few weeks. This consultation will include architect’s plans and images of all new and refurbished buildings and a model of the whole site. Details of the various consultation events will be posted here.
