HOMES could be built on the site of a former scrapyard, if planners give the go-ahead later this week.

Gary Bennett wants permission to build 66 homes on the land at Castle Mills, Becks Road, Keighley.

A similar application was refused by planners in 2010.

Bradford Council’s Regulatory and Appeals committee will decide whether to grant planning permission at City Hall on Thursday.

This time, the plan is recommended for approval.

Separate plans, to convert the derelict Castle Mills building into flats, are part of another planning application and will not be decided at the meeting.
