    Plans have been submitted to develop a site in Bingley believed by some to be an eyesore into a retirement village.

    The site of the former Bingley Auction Mart on Keighley Road has lain derelict for more than 20 years.

    A project submitted to Bradford Council aims to create sheltered accommodation with 104 apartments.

    However, four planning applications for the site have been refused since 1999, with the most recent being supermarket chain Lidl’s plan to build a new store on the site in 2016.
