Restaurant plans extension and flats in old pub

A Bradford restaurant has submitted plans to develop a neighbouring pub which currently stands vacant.

Rajpoot, on Otley Road in Shipley, has applied for planning permission to renovate the restaurant as well as the former Old House at Home pub which stands next door.

Under the plans, the restaurant would extend into the old pub and a "small" rear extension to both units would be built.

Six apartments would then be constructed in the space above the whole site which stands close to Shipley Rail Station.

Three of the flats would be one-bed properties under the plans while two would be two-beds and one three-bed.

The Old House at Home shut down in September 2023, according to the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra).

A decision on the plans is expected to be made by Bradford Council in due course.
