The barn at Back Shaw Lane in Keighley A PLANNING panel has raised concerns over plans to turn a barn at a rural Keighley site into a four-bedroom house. Bradford Council s District Planning Panel discussed an application to convert the building at Back Shaw Farm, which lies within the Green Belt, into residential at a meeting last week. They heard that changes to planning rules brought in by the Conservative Government in 2013 meant agricultural buildings could be converted into housing without the need for planning permission - even if they lie in protected Green Belt. Instead the work would be allowed under permitted development.
