Farm in Bronte Country village could be used as temporary campsite
A farm in a Bronte Country village could be used as a temporary campsite this Summer.
Milking Hill Farm in Stanbury is the subject of an application to Bradford Council that seeks permission for 18 camping pitches near the River Worth.
The application argues that the use will fall under “permitted development” – meaning a full planning application is not needed.
The area is hugely popular with hikers and tourists due to its links to the Bronte Sisters.
The application, submitted by Miles and Liz Greenwood, says: “The site will operate on the following dates (inclusive) July 2 – July 20 and July 23 – August 31.
“The site will have up to 18 pitches for tents and campervans. Two movable toilets, one movable urinal, and two moveable showers. Sewage will be disposed of via Convenience Hire, a local Registered Waste Carrier. Drinking water will be provided via mains water supply.”
A decision on the application is expected in July.
