PLANS to turn an empty building opposite Queensbury’s Victoria Hall into a takeaway have been refused by Bradford Council.
Saiqa Naveed applied to convert 20a Sandbeds, a former shop selling wooden goods, into a new hot-food takeaway business last year. The planning application would have seen an extension built to the property.
But planning officers said the extension to the building would have been “excessive” and “have a visually negative effect on the Queensbury conservation area.”
They said the new business would also “be detrimental to the amenities of neighbouring residents by reason of noise, vehicular activity and general disturbance, particularly late at night or at other unsocial hours.”
