Plans for 14 houses in Silsden could be passed next week subject to a legal agreement being signed by the developer committing more than £40,000 towards recreation and education in the area. Bradford Council’s regulatory and appeals committee are being recommended to approve the application for land south west of 14 Wayside Mews when they meet next Tuesday.

They are being advised to add conditions and require a legal agreement to be signed to cover £14,890 for recreation space in the Craven ward, £26,284 towards improving the existing educational infrastructure within the Craven ward; and to cover the cost of a traffic regulation order at the junctions of Banklands and Bolton Road, and Dale View and Bolton Road.
