Northern Rail plans to turn vacant space at Hebden Bridge Station back into housing again.

Calderdale Council planners believe any harm done to the Grade II-listed building will be “minimal” and has given the necessary approval.

The application says proposed works retain the existing ground and first floor layouts, with space to be let as a single tenancy.

A supporting statement with the application says proposals form part of a wider scheme being undertaken to re-purpose existing redundant accommodation within station buildings, bringing them back into use.

“A number of these stations have been vacant for a number of years and the project aims to improve the fabric and aesthetic in addition to opening up revenue opportunities.

“At Hebden Bridge Station, proposals cover accommodation located adjacent the main entrance and Platform 2,” it states.
