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."
“It is not a particularly attractive building.” Askar Mahmood, speaking on behalf of the applicant, argued that the building did not harm the Green belt, and was not easily visible from the road. He added: “It is no different than an allotment shed - it only takes up a small portion of the site.” He suggested that if needed the shed could be “camouflaged” with grass. He added: “If these plans are refused we would have to put the dogs in a residential area, which would lead to neighbours complaining.” Mr Khan said walking the dogs had proved beneficial to his health, and keeping them was a hobby, not a business.
The site of the planned homes BRADFORD Council has been urged to block any plans for homes in an area of Keighley until traffic issues at a notorious bridge are resolved. At a recent meeting of the Council's Regulatory and Appeals Committee members were discussing plans to build 41 new homes in the Long Lee area. Among the concerns raised by objectors and local Councillors were traffic congestion at the Coney Lane bridge, the main route between Long Lee and Keighley town centre. They argued that numerous new developments in Long Lee would add more traffic to this route, which is already regularly congested throughout the day and has been the site of numerous accidents, often involving HGVs or large vehicles.
