Rank Hovis, Ramsgate report- June 2011

[Priority 7]

This massive structure, mostly by E.W.Pugin, ceased operating as a mill in 2006 and was disposed of by the owners at that time, Rank Hovis. Oxford architects Towle Spurring Hardy have been developing a scheme since the early part of 2007 to convert the historic buildings on the site into residential units and to provide new-build accommodation. The new buildings, in materials, siting, and form, are designed to complement the listed structures, and the whole ensemble has the potential to be a most unusual and innovative development. A planning application is expected.
