A FORMER mill building could be partially demolished and transformed into apartments and houses. An application has been put forward to South Lakeland District Council to convert Ellers Mill in The Ellers, Ulverston into eight apartments and three terraced houses. The building has remained vacant since 2018 when it was previously occupied by Furness Engineering and Technology Limited (FETL). Ellers Mill is a four-storey former water powered cotton mill which has undergone significant extension and alteration during its time. According to the design and access statement included in the application, the redevelopment of Ellers Mill has been considered between the applicant, Tim Redshaw of T Ward and Son, and the South Lakeland District Council for a number of years.
