I'm addicted to property programmes on the box, especially the types that convert unloved or neglected buildings into modern homes. However some of these conversions cause a lot of debate, and there's a new debate taking place in Stonehouse.

The Stanley Mill is Grade 1 listed and has been described by historians as one of the most important surviving textile mills in the South West. Architecturally it is stunning, especially inside, but it is largely empty and unloved.

So should developers be allowed to preserve the mill by converting the building and surrounding land into flats and housing? There are some beautiful examples of converted mills in Gloucestershire, but should Stanley Mill be the next?
