Yorkshire Water to redevelop historic hall

Yorkshire Water has revealed plans to redevelop Bradford’s Esholt Hall to create a flagship centre of excellence for learning and wellbeing.The building, which was closed in 2017, is set to be renovated to provide a venue for Yorkshire Water’’s new training academy for colleagues and the wider water industry.The redevelopment of the hall will provide new classroom spaces, for Yorkshire Water’s academies of Water, Wastewater, Health and Safety, Leadership and Management, Customer Experience and Systems and Technology.Once completed, the hall will also provide space for Yorkshire Water colleagues to meet and collaborate, as well as a range of wellbeing resources and activities.Alongside the redevelopment of Esholt Hall, plans have been submitted by Keyland, the property trading arm of Kelda Group and sister company to Yorkshire Water, to transform the redundant land around Esholt wastewater treatment works into a new sustainable development.
