39-40 Bank Street is currently used as a discount clothes shop following a lengthy period of vacancy.
A new application submitted to Bradford Council by Rakesh Ohri would see much of the ground floor unit converted into a salon, with space for brow stations and therapy rooms as well as a new mezzanine space.
A small area fronting Bank Street would be sub divided to create a shop.

“The proposal is aimed at preserving and making use of this historic property to provide a positive contribution to the area as a whole. The proposal will provide employment opportunities to support the local economy directly and indirectly.”
The building is part of a row of Grade II listed Victorian buildings, and a listed building consent application for work to the unit has also been submitted.
A decision on the application is expected later this month.
