INSPECTORS will visit the fire-hit Harris Court Mill today as the building faces an uncertain future.

Diggers and cranes from Kayedem Demolition moved onto the site over the weekend to begin partially demolishing the building to make it safe.

Demetri Elia, from Kayedem Demolition, said: "The two gable ends of the mill were tied into the roof trusses, however these trusses, which were acting as a lateral support to the gables, have been damaged beyond repair, which has resulted in both gable ends being totally freestanding and actually leaning outwards." 

Bradford Council has today confirmed the building will be inspected, but its future is uncertain and any further work will be decided on by the owners.

A Bradford Council spokesperson said: "We will be inspecting the building again today.

"Work is being undertaken by the owner to make the building safe.

"The future of the building is currently uncertain and the owners of the building are considering the matter.

"Any future outcome for the building will require planning consent.

"The building is located within a conservation area and this will need to be addressed as part of any planning application."
