A NEW gym could open in a village mill if new plans are approved.

A planning application to convert a section of Grade II listed Black Dyke Mills in Queensbury has been submitted to Bradford Council by Macclesfield-based The Lowry Partnership.

The business would be based in a section fronting Brighouse Road, currently classed as industrial. The plans call for bricked up windows and doors on the Brighouse Road elevation to be reinstated.

Plan to build industrial units on land at Black Dyke Mill is approved

The application says: “The proposed work will not affect or damage the fabric of the existing site.

“New windows openings and lobbies will help create a practical and comfortable space for gym user and member of staff.”

A decision on the application is expected early in the new year.
