Part of arson-hit mill complex set to be razed to ensure safety
Derby Telegraph
|August 06, 2025
PART of a historic Derbyshire mill complex is set to be demolished after a recent arson attack left it unsafe, with plans pending for the site to be turned into homes.
The 200-year-old Tansley Wood Mill complex, in Lumsdale, between Matlock and Tansley, was at the centre of a fire on July 1 with one building among the complex left so unsafe that investigators could not assess it for the cause of the blaze.
Plans to turn the complex into 11 apartments and 14 houses within the grounds were submitted to Derby shire Dales District Council by private landowner Mark Lee last February and have not yet been decided.
Now an application from Tansley Wood Mills Ltd, run by Robert, Alan and Glenys Wright, filed to the district council, seeks to demolish most of the fire-hit building in the Grade-II listed mill complex, which is the former bleaching house.
