00:00The makers of TV drama Emmerdale are seeking to continue running popular visitor tours which
00:06generate millions of pounds a year. ITV Studios has applied to Leeds City Council to keep welcoming
00:12fans to the production set in Harewood after current planning permission expires. More than
00:1740,000 people visit the iconic site near Leeds every year, contributing £7.7 million to the
00:24tourist economy. ITV already lodged a separate application to permanently film the show at
00:30Stubb House at Burdenhead Farm on Harewood Road after consent runs out next June.
00:36A full change of use planning application is out for consultation until the 13th of November.
