Plans for a major new development at one of the Worth Valley’s biggest tourist attractions have been approved.Bradford Council has given the green light to Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (K&WVR) to build a 100-seater cafe and a car park extension at its station in Oxenhope. Mr France said there were no immediate plans to start building work as the railway must first find the funds necessary to complete the project.Once built the cafe and its associated kitchen and toilets will comprise a single storey building on the western side of Oxenhope Station’s existing exhibition shed, facing towards the car park.A detailed statement accompanying the planning application explains that the 350 square metre property will have a curved, mostly glazed facade.It adds that being able to provide this kind of facility is an important part of helping to maintain the K&WVR’s status as a major destination for visitors, warning that the attraction’s income is currently too dependent on passenger fares.
