Respondent: Historic England

Kyme Mills is a distinctive and characterful mill which provides a fine example of a largely complete textile-maufacturing complex. Historic England’s West Yorkshire’s Historic Textile Mills: District of Bradford - Buildings at Risk Assessment Report (2019) identifies the
mill complex as having a High Relative Heritage Value. As such, the mill should be treated as a non-designated heritage asset. Anydevelopment of this site should seek to retain and sensitively convert the mill buildings and other structures of interest. Historic England support the identification of Kyme Mills as a nondesignated heritage asset in the pro forma for this site, and the intention that the conversion of these buildings for residential use
should be undertaken creatively and sensitively in recognition of their historic nature. We welcome the intention to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment for this site.
