Development History
June 1993: External inspection reveals the mill to be deteriorating and unmaintained.
1996: SCT receives information that the elderly owner has died and the entire property, including the small farmhouse and steading, is being marketed by Langley-Taylor of Edinburgh.
November 1996: SCT receives information that the property has been sold.
February 1998: SCT receives information that at least 2 further changes of ownership have taken place.
March 1998: Planning Permission is sought for the alteration and extension of the farmhouse to form a residential dwelling. Works commence.
January 2002: Local plannners report that the farmhouse has been substantially repaired and appears occupied. As yet, no proposals have been submitted for the cornmill.
April 2003: Local planners report no change.
February 2008: External inspection finds the mill to remain derelict. Part of one extension has now lost its slate roof. Most windows are broken and missing. The are plants growing in mortar joints.
May 2010: External inspection finds that the building appears to be largely unchanged from our previous visit. Externally, the most obvious deterioration is in the pointing on the west elevation where large cracks are more pronounced, though these appear to be stable.
17 December 2014: External inspection finds minor repairs have been undertaken to the lower piended section of the building but the main roof has deteriorated since the previous site visit. Otherwise, the building remains in much the same condition as seen previously. Full Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent for restoration and conversion of the former mill into a dwelling were lodged but withdrawn ref: 08/00728/FUL & 08/00727/LBC.
12 November 2019: A member of the public notes further deterioration at the site - roofs have now collapsed.
20 May 2024: Desk-based assessment suggests the building remains At-Risk.
