A SCHEME to build six industrial units on an overgrown plot of land has been submitted to Bradford Council.

The land on the edge of the city centre, bordered by Birksland Street, Birkshall Lane and a rail line, has been vacant for over 18 years, and is now covered with wild vegetation and is a regular target of flytippers.

A planning application has now been submitted by a Mr Hussain to develop the site, between Bowling Back Lane and Leeds Road, with a building made up of six industrial units, and parking for 22 cars.

The units will range in size from 176 square metres to 279 square metres, and if approved the units could be used for storage and distribution or general industrial use.

A decision on the application is expected in November.
