AUTOMATIC bollards and new CCTV can be installed at the car park of a Saltaire mill after plans for security measures were approved.

Last Summer Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust, based at New Mill in the heart of the World Heritage Site, applied to install CCTV cameras and bollards to prevent cars from accessing the car park, just off Victoria Road.

They said the site was subject to "regular trespass" and that the new measures were needed to prevent crime on the site.

Planning officers approved these new measures last month, saying they will not adversely impact the Heritage Site and are "minimalist and reversible."

A single rising automatic bollard will be installed at the entrance to the car park, with another installed on the exit.

Officers said: "There has been an increase in anti-social behaviour and it is considered that there is sufficient justification for these measures.

"Security in this case is a public benefit to outweigh the minor harm to the heritage asset."
