Briggela Mill is a very impressive example of an intact integrated mill which, very unusually, has a five-storey block with a north-light roof. It provides a fine example of a largely complete textilemaufacturing 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 nondesignated heritage asset. Any development of this site should seek to retain and sensitively convert the mill buildings and other structures of interest. Historic England support the identification of Brigella Mills as a nondesignated heritage asset in the pro forma for this site, and the intention that development should be of a high quality and sensitive design which retains and enhances the heritage asset. We welcome the intention to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment for this site.
