BRADFORD Council have approved plans for a developer to convert an “impressive” vacant warehouse into flats.

In 2015 plans by Vantage Apartments to refurbish the five-storey, Grade II listed 46 Peckover Street in Little Germany (pictured) and turn it into 33 one and two-bed apartments were approved.

Earlier this summer Iqbal Singh has submitted an application to alter these plans, reducing the number of two-bed flats to make the development more financially viable. The changes will see the number of flats increase to 43.

The building, a warehouse built in a Scottish Baronial style in the 1870s, is currently vacant. It was most recently classed as offices.

Planning officers said: “The building is a fine example of its type and has been vacant for several years. The proposal will maintain the significance of the heritage asset.”
