The cottages on Ebor Lane HOUSING developer Skipton Properties has been told its plans to alter a row of listed cottages would be unacceptable. Last Summer Bradford Council granted permission for the developer to convert existing listed buildings at Ebor Mills in Haworth into homes, and building 24 new homes on the rest of the site. Earlier this year Skipton Properties asked Bradford Council for Listed Building Consent to make alterations to a number of Grade II listed cottages on Ebor Lane, numbers 4, 5 and 8. In its application the company had said it: Acquired the dwellings in question with the intention of enhancing the roadside frontage of their adjacent mill conversion and residential development site, whilst also upgrading existing housing stock to bring them back to a habitable standard.
