A CHURCH has applied for planning permission to build an indoor skate facility next to its Bradford building.

Life Church has submitted a planning application for a skate park enclosure unit (pictured) to be built on the side of its Abundant Life Centre on Wapping Road.

The application says: “The church currently requires a storage unit in order to safely store away their skateboarding facilities and external equipment.

“The proposed building adaptations will assist in keeping the external equipment, currently stored in a container, in a safe and dry environment and allow for skate park facilities to be used all year round.”

Bradford Council is expected to make a decision on the plans next month.
