Chauntry Mill

The Chauntry Mill factory site is made up of a series of Grade II listed buildings situated in the town centre of Haverhill. While some of the buildings retain a useful and viable purpose as offices the former ‘north light’ factory sheds, which occupy a substantial part of the site, are largely redundant and prevent the longer term sustainable redevelopment of the whole site.

CODE, working in partnership with the Borough Council, site owners and Historic England, prepared a development brief for the site which was endorsed by the Council and formed the basis of an application to demolish some of the listed buildings. Planning permission and listed building consent was subsequently granted following demonstration of an appropriate balance between harm to the listed buildings and provision of sufficient public benefit.
