The proposed changes to the old Northowram Tannery building have now been passed and will therefore be changed to accommodate the new Co-op on this site. There will be a number of changes required for it to be able to function as a business. Works will include the replacement of the roof, external alterations and a part demolition to form car park along with the a new pedestrian crossing to allow access across Bradford Road.

The crossing will be a staggered as it will use the traffic island currently positioned in the centre of the road.
