A 200-YEAR-OLD Sedbergh mill will be demolished, if a planning application is approved.
J M Pratt Ltd wholesale frozen food suppliers has applied to the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority for permission to demolish Birks Mill, in Birks Lane, and replace it with a new warehouse building.
"The mill is leaning quite badly to one side and a structural engineer told us it would be cheaper to take it down than fix it," said sales manager Shaun Atherton.
The business employs 20 people.
Plans can be viewed at the YDNPA offices - telephone 01969-650456 for an appointment.
