More plans for the controversial Monkman's restaurant site in Pool-in-Wharfedale have been submitted to Leeds City Council - and parish councillors are likely to object to the latest offering.

The landmark former bistro with bedrooms has already been partly demolished after owner Chris Monkman issued a demolition notice for the Pool Bank New Road Georgian-style building, despite local opposition

Developer Consort Homes submitted an application last month, but its revised plans have a number of differences.

The new plans are for eight two-storey houses across the front of Pool Bank, plus two blocks of two storey flats.

These flats are in a block of eight and a block of four. The four block will have separate, private access from the others, but all access will now be from Swallow Drive.

The previous plans were for the same number of houses, but semi-detached and accessed through Pool Bank Road.

The flats in the previous plan totalled 15, with three blocks over two and a half storeys.

Pool Parish Councillors are now looking at the new plans, but already complaints have been made about the application.

The plans were viewed for the first time by parish councillors at Monday night's meeting and councillors urged villagers to continue their letter-writing campaign to stop the plans.

Councillor Ailsa Bearpark said: "The second application had 23 dwellings, this has 20.

"The blocks of flats do not have the attic floor in them which makes them slightly more palatable, but the street scene on the frontage is worse.

"As a parish council we do need a bit longer to consider the plans and work out what we are going to do."

Coun Bearpark added that after a public consultation at the end of September, the parish council had lots of views from villagers.

She said that these could still apply to the new planning application.

After the consultation, parish councillors said that a common complaint was the demolition of the building, which was considered an architectural feature of the village, and its replacement with a line of houses of no architectural merit.

There were also concerns raised about traffic, school places and privacy.

A Leeds City Council spokeswoman said: "There may be a further amended application following this latest revised plan, but as it stands this one is due to be considered by the planning panel on Tuesday, October 29.

"A public inquiry that was due to be held at the beginning of October has been postponed until the outcome of this new application is resolved."
