Respondent: SPAB Mills

the windmill is an irreplaceable resource, a rare surviving example of the local style of tower mill retaining all of its internal machinery. Following recent extensive repairs - a substantial share of which were publically funded - the mill has successfully been returned to full working order. In addition to concerns about the likely visual impact of development on the setting of Berkswell Windmill, the Mills Section is concerned that development on the scale indicated in the Plan could damage the mill's ability to function fully in the future. Development must be regarded as causing substantial harm to the heritage asset.
