The Stonebridge Beck project, which Caddick ԭ is building for developers Rushbond and Advent Developments, comprises 82 new build homes as well as the regeneration of the Grade II listed former woollen mill buildings and cottages to create a further 30 homes.
The old chimney and water tower will be retained as a sentinel for the redevelopment.
Caddick’s construction contract provides a comprehensive regeneration of the 10-acre site and buildings as well as all hard and soft landscaping, highway access and estate infrastructure.
Principal designer and engineer on the scheme is W A Fairhurst & Partners with surveying services provided by BWF. The scheme is due to complete in summer 2023.
Rushbond specialises in Yorkshire heritage regeneration projects. Founder and managing director Jonathan Maud said: “Rushbond and our partners Advent have worked hard to design a really thoughtful and sympathetic regeneration of this long derelict and much-loved Leeds landmark. We know from our extensive consultations that the community are excited to see this project commence and we are committed to delivering a really high-quality scheme.”
Caddick ԭ managing director Adrian Dobson said: “We are delighted to have started work on Stonebridge Mills and are helping to bring this site and historic buildings back to life as well as providing much-needed housing for the Farnley area. The site’s regeneration will also enable the green corridor along the Farnley Beck to be extended and run through the development which will be a huge bonus for the local community.”
