The demolition of a derelict care home in Keighley can progress after planners approved the work.
The Holme Wood Resource Centre is a former elderly care home in the Fell Lane area. It provided a range of respite and day care provision before being shut since 2013.
Since then it has become an anti-social behaviour hotspot.
Owners Bradford Council plan to demolish the building beginning next month, saying it was surplus to requirements, and efforts to find a new use for the building had proved “unsuccessful.”
Last month the authority submitted a demolition notice to its own planning department.
Approving the scheme last week, Council officers said: “The submission explains that the site is unused and unusable, having fallen into disrepair due to vandalism.
“They are vulnerable to misuse and anti-social behaviour.
“The structures are relatively low rise and appear of standard construction, so the method of demolition will involve a straightforward mechanical demolition. The buildings are set inside the site boundaries and so adjoining properties should not be unduly affected by such works.”
The Local Democracy Reporting Service has asked Bradford Council what the plans for the site are post-demolition, but has yet to receive a response.
