Chetwoods Leeds has successfully secured two full planning approvals and listed building consents for phase two of the works at Grade II* listed Marshalls Mill.
To reinvigorate the bleak and confusing visitor journey the external works approvals include consent for the lowering of the three metre high boundary wall to the street to allow views into the site and the introduction of a structured temporary landscape consisting of extensive large scale container planting of native tree species and lower level tray planting.
Consented works to the reception include a comprehensive redesign and refurbishment of the internal spaces to rationalise and modernise the reception area. Externally a new seven metre double height fully glazed timber framed vestibule is to be the key feature of the works providing a new high quality signature entrance for the Mill to house a series of changing large scale illuminated art installations.
The ambition of the proposals is to raise the profile of the building, secure values, and act as a driver for future development and the eventual delivery of the clients’ masterplan for the site.
