PLANNING bosses have given the go-ahead for a disused filter station on the edge of Ilkley Moor to be transformed into a home.

Despite objections and an alternative parish council plan to make the Wells Road building into a tourist visitor centre, members of the Keighley Area Planning Panel followed a recommendation by a planning officer to allow the Yorkshire Water plan.

The filter station used to treat spring water running off the moor but stricter laws governing drinking water quality rendered the station redundant.
