Sixteen people had written to the Council to support the plans. But some letters of support seemed to contradict each other as to whether the business has been operating as a coffee shop or a burger take away prior to the application being submitted. One supporter said: “If this place served hot food. We would support it more often.” Another said: “We would prefer if it opened longer hours and served hot food options.” and one said: “We need a hot food shop for people working in the area especially during winter.” But one letter of support said: “I am a patron of Buns n Crust Burgers, the business is a great innovative venture with burgers unlike any other place in Bradford or afar.”
