ONE of Keighley district's top tourist destinations is subject to a planning application for new windows.
Proposals for six replacement windows for Haworth's Brontë Parsonage have been submitted to Bradford Council by the Brontë Society.
A design statement accompanying the application for the Grade I listed building explains none of the windows that need replacing are original features of the historic property.
It also notes the windows currently in place are all in poor condition and suffering from wet rot damage, adding: "The design of the replacement windows will comply with local authority conservation department requirements for this property."
The Parsonage was built from 1778 to 1779. Patrick Brontë, his wife Maria and their six children, moved to the Parsonage in 1820. It was the family home for the rest of their lives, and its moorland setting had a profound influence on the writing of sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne.
The building has been a museum since 1928.
