In 2023 developer B&E Boys revealed plans to demolish Walk Mills in Keighley, and replace it with 12 industrial buildings. The company’s planning application said the mill was “not fit for modern usage” and that the redevelopment would attract more businesses to Keighley. There are currently 40 employees on the site – the application said the new units would raise this number to 100. There had been numerous concerns raised over the plans, with the Environment Agency pointing out that parts of the site were in a flood plain. The Local Democracy Reporting Service has contacted the company to ask why it withdrew the plans, but has yet to receive a response.
