PLANS to convert a former public library into two semi-detached homes have been submitted to a council.
Stephen Mungofa has applied to Calderdale Council seeking permission to convert Bailiff Bridge Library at Devon Way.
The plans include a first-floor extension and off-road parking.
The former Calderdale Council building was sold at auction in February last year, reaching £139,000.
The building was closed by Calderdale Council in January 2019 due to health and safety concerns.
At the time, councillors heard the authority's financial situation meant spending money on the building was not an option.
Mr Mungofa has now come up with proposals he says will give what is now a dilapidated building a new future as two semi-detached three-bedroom family homes.
Agents Cadvis3d, in a supporting statement with the application, says: “The proposals provide high quality, family homes to meet local needs, in a sustainable location, that will contribute to the housing supply in the local area."
