PLANS to transform a former textile mill into houses are being recommended for approval.

Vale Weavers Mill, Lower Clough Street, Barrowford, will be transformed into 12 townhouses and a duplex if permission is granted.

Access to the houses would be gained through Lower Clough Street. Only one letter of objection has been sent to the council.

Councillors will decide the future of the site at the Barrowford and Western Parishes meeting on January 10.

A council report into the application recommends it is approved.
