PLANS to open a take away in an unused part of a pub have been withdrawn.

Omar Khan had applied to open a hot food take away in a store area of the New Victoria Hotel in Bolton Woods in September. However, this week the plans were withdrawn before planning officers could make a decision on whether to give the plans the go ahead.

The development would also have seen the living area above the pub divided into six additional apartments.

Before the withdrawal Bradford Council's environmental health department had raised some concerns, including problems of increased noise and a rise in vehicles coming to and from the site at night.
