A LONG standing Bradford business plans to increase employment on its site have been approved. Members of Bradford Council s Regulatory and Appeals Committee unanimously backed an application to build four new industrial units on the Bulmer and Lumb site on Royds Hall Lane, as well as the refurbishment of existing space at the site. The company revealed plans to increase employment on the site earlier this year, and Thursday s committee meeting was told that the plans were the first stepping stone to further development. Bulmer and Lumb, which specialises in dying fabrics, has been based at its Buttershaw site since the mid 20th Century.
