PLANS to convert a derelict Sutton mill into 46 flats and 30 houses will be scrutinised on Monday.

Blueprints for Greenroyd Mill will be put before Craven District Council planners with a recommendation to approve the application.

The proposal includes building the houses on land around the mill and 92 car parking spaces.

Twelve homes would be given up for affordable housing - costing 40 per cent less than market value.

The two and three storey houses have between one and four bedrooms, as do the apartments.

It is suggested that the developers, as part of a legal section 106 agreement, should fund a playground extension at next door Sutton Church of England School and provide £25,000 to build a footpath to the east of Sutton Lane.

No objections have been submitted by the Environment Agency, Highways Authority or Yorkshire Water.

However Environment Protections has recommended set working hours to restrict noise and English Heritage is pressing for the retention and repair of the mill chimney.

North Yorkshire County Council's heritage section has expressed concerns about aspects of the demolition work and suggests the building should be recorded.

Two residents of nearby Rosewood Square have highlighted concerns about increased traffic.

Planning officers have recommended delegated authority for the build, to include conditions.

Also due to be discussed at Monday's meeting are:

a proposed nursery with football pitch at Bradley;

a controversial Orange mobile phone mast at Quarry Field, Crag Lane, Bradley;

the roof height of care homes off Bridge Road in Sutton; and

the terms of a 106 agreement imposed a year ago on planning consent to convert Acre Shed at Cowling into a village hall and 31 homes.
