A MILL in Nelson could soon be opened as a mill shop on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays if plans get the green light next week.

Furnico Ltd has applied to open Throstle Nest Mill, in Bankhouse Road, for the sale of suites made at the factory to the public.

An enforcement notice against the unauthorised use of the mill at weekends is now at the appeal stage.

Planners have approved the application subject to conditions including the personnel door in Bankhouse Road not being used and the mill not operating as a shop outside the hours of 10am and 5pm, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.
