Changes to former pub building in city Conservation Area are approved

CONTROVERSIAL proposals to turn a Bradford pub into shops and flats have been approved by Bradford Council after being amended to better reflect the building’s heritage.
Last May a retrospective application to convert the Black Swan on Thornton Road into shops and eight flats was refused by planning officers amid claims the changes had lead to the “destruction” of the building’s traditional appearance.
The 19th Century pub, in the Goitside Conservation Area of the city centre, was a popular live music venue until 2019 when it shut.
Work to convert the ground floor into shops began early last year - without any planning permission in place.
