A PLAN to build 14 homes on the site of a disused Shipley synagogue has been approved by Bradford Council.

Bradford Hebrew Congregation had initially proposed building nine homes on the site in Springhurst Road, but a revised application for 12 two-bed houses and a pair of two-bed apartments has now been approved.

The scheme has two terrace rows, staggered back from Springhurst Road, and a third terrace within a new cul-de-sac.
