The site of the proposed cafe on Beckside Road COUNCILLORS have gone against the recommendations of officers and refused plans to build a cafe at a busy Bradford junction. Members of the Bradford Planning Panel disagreed that double yellow lines would be enough to deter people parking at the junction of Beckside Road and Spencer Road - the location of the proposed cafe. An application for a new cafe and tearoom on a vacant piece of land at 117 - 119 Beckside Road was submitted to Bradford Council by Raheel Munir last year. It was the latest in a string of planning application submitted to the Council to create cafes out of storage containers, and work on the business has already started.
COUNCILLORS have voted to refuse plans to build houses on a plot of land in Wyke. A report to members of Bradford Council’s Bradford Planning Panel had advised them to approve the application for five homes South of Brick Row. But at an online meeting of the Panel on Wednesday, officers reversed their recommendation – suggesting that the plans, by the Stott family, now be refused. The change of heart came after it emerged that one of the neighbouring homes had a bedroom window that would face onto one of the properties, harming the privacy of the house and future residents of the proposed homes.
