The future of a dilapidated coach house has been assured after Bradford Council gave permission for its conversion.

The building, next to Grade 2-listed Ryshworth Hall on Keighley Road, Crossflats, Bingley, has been empty for several years.

Graham Morgan applied for permission to convert it into a two-bedroom house.

Planning officer Peter Timbrell said: “The sensitive conversion of the building to a use as a residence will assure its long term survival and would in turn preserve the setting of the Grade two Ryshworth Hall.
