A MAN has been ordered to pay over £3,000 after a plot of land on a residential street was used by a construction business for years without planning permission. Michael Haley pleaded guilty to breaching an enforcement notice when he appeared at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates Court on Tuesday. He appeared on video-link from prison, where he is serving a sentence for fraud. The case was brought by Bradford Council, and related to a plot of land on Railway Street - off Tong Street in Bierley. The Council had received complaints that the land was being used by a business that hires out machinery. No planning permission for such a use had ever been granted, and the unauthorised use had dated back as far as 2016.
1/1 TWO men have been fined after inspectors found rusty equipment and filthy conditions in their Bradford pie manufacturing business. Neil Anderton and Paul Anderton appeared at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates Court on Tuesday, pleading guilty to a number of food hygiene charges, and were each fined over £2,700. The charges stem from an inspection of their business, WH & S Anderton and Sons, based at Bowling Court, on November 1 2019. The business manufactures pork pies, and supplies cafes, shops, pubs and working men’s clubs across Bradford. It produces on average 1,800 pies and pastries a week. Bradford Council had issued a caution to the business earlier that year due to concerns over cleanliness, and during the November inspection found a number of issues.
1/1 A BAKERY that supplied cakes to dozens of Bradford businesses was shut down after inspectors found it in a filthy condition, and littered with mouse droppings. And during the inspection officers found a plastic tub used to store Nutmeg also contained an unidentified dropping and a large, dead spider. Khalid Hussain was the owner and, at the time of the January 2020 inspection, sole employee of a company trading as Fine Bakers at Bullroyd Industrial Estate - a business that has since taken on new ownership. He appeared at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates Court yesterday, charged with a string of food hygiene offences.
