PLANS have been submitted to convert a derelict Bradford pub into three houses.
Developers want to turn the Duke of York Inn in Dean Lane, Thornton, which closed its doors in late 2012, into two three-bedroom properties, and a single bedroom house.
Planning permission exists to convert the 19th century grade-II listed farmhouse into six dwellings, from a previous application granted by Bradford Council last year.
The developers of that project have since sold the site to its new owners.
The project's design statement, submitted by SKP Architectural Design Services, of Bingley, states: "The former use of the building could well have been farm workers' cottages.
"The conversion we propose is sympathetically converted with minimal structural works.
"It should also be noted that the building has been subjected to a number of break-ins in recent months, so the proposed development of this building needs to be addressed before further key features are stolen or other attacks on this listed property happen."
People can have their say on the plans until August 28.
