Architectural Services Urgent Works Notice

Staffordshire Moorlands District Council wish to appoint a conservation accredited Architect to work as advisor to the Council in relation to serving a possible urgent works notice (UWN) on Big Mill in Leek Staffordshire. Big Mill is a Grade II listed building prominently located in the Leek Conservation Area on Mill Street on a key route into Leek from Macclesfield. It was last used about 10 years ago and has stood empty ever since. The action, under Section 54 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, would enforce works which are urgently necessary to keep the building wind, watertight and secure. The Council has a duty to consider actions such as this in order to protect its heritage assets. The commission will be phased over 3 stages from design and feasibility through (if UWN is served) to the supervision of works. This exercise is being managed through the Council’s E-tendering system via the West Midlands Improvement and efficiency Procurement portal.
