The food court at Ingleby Road CONCERNS over anti social behaviour and traffic at a popular food court led to Councillors refusing a late night licence for a doughnut shop.
Bradford Council s Licensing Panel met to decide whether to grant a license to Cha Donuts, based at the food court on Ingleby Road, a license to extend its opening hours to 2am. Currently the business has to shut at 11pm. However during the meeting members heard that the food court that the unit is a part of had been subject to a number of complaints from local residents, and that traffic into the site regularly caused huge hold ups on the busy Bradford road.
The car park would charge £3 a day. Caroline Sunter, representing the applicants, said allowing this car park would mean the multi storey car park at the station was not needed. She added: The applicants doubt that the multi storey car park at the station will ever be built, as it keeps getting pushed back. This car park would be of no cost to the public. She said the site was a brownfield site in low quality Green Belt. Referring to the claim that the car park would save the public money, planning officer Andrew Moxon said: This is a scheme that a private developer will benefit from by charging £3 a day. It is not necessarily saving the taxpayer.
