AN empty unit in Keighley could become the town centre's latest micropub.

14 Low Street was home to a pay day loan company until February 2019.

Now a planning application to open a micropub in the building has been submitted to Bradford Council by Adam Hirson.

The building has a prominent spot on the pedestrianised street - which has entrances to Keighley Market and the Airedale Shopping Centre, and faces onto a public square.

The pub will measure just 42 square metres.

Popular pub will remain in place as part of a £10m development, despite proposals to demolish the buildings either side of it

The application seeks permission for the change of use of the building to a drinking establishment, with opening times of noon to 11pm on weekdays and 11am to 11pm on weekends.

A decision on the application is expected to be made next month.

The application is the latest for a new bar in the town centre.

In recent years applications have been granted for two micropubs on Cavendish Street, and a bar at the Victorian Arcade on Low Street.

And a decision on whether to allow a new gin and craft beer bar to open on Scott Street is due imminently.
