A pub building could be converted into a house under new proposals submitted to Bradford Council.

The Copper Kettle, at the crossroads of Thornton Road and Brighouse and Denholme Road, in Denholme, is a detached Yorkshire stone building.

The plan to turn the building into a house would include alterations to form a pitched roof to a side extension.

A document in support of the application said the company that previously operated the pub went into administration in 2009.

The report said: “The pub was marketed on behalf of the administrators for a considerable length of time before it was finally purchased by the applicant.

“The applicant has lived in the area for more than 25 years. The applicant proposes to sympathetically change the use of the building into a dwelling.”

The top floor of the pub was converted to residential use 15 to 20 years ago.
