PLANS have been put forward for a seasonal campsite near Keighley Tarn.

A planning application has been submitted to Bradford Council for the use of a field at Tarn View Farm, Tarn Lane, as a camping and caravan site with up to 34 pitches.

The land would be used by holidaymakers between mid-March and mid-September.

Around 0.69 hectares of the farm site would be used for the venture.

The application highlights the proximity of the site to attractions such as the Yorkshire Dales, East Riddlesden Hall and Haworth.

The application adds: “The pitches might each be occupied by touring caravans, small to medium-sized motorhomes, ‘glamping’ pods or tents. The proposal will cater to increasing demand for staycation and low-impact holidaymakers and will also diversify the host farm business.

“The farm is located on the Millennium Way, which connects with the Pennine Way at Stanbury, and would afford an opportunity for long-distance walkers to pitch or ‘glamp’.”
