A GP practice has submitted a planning application for a new surgery.

The Moorside Surgery practice of Dr Van der Wert and partners is currently based at 1, Thornbridge Mews, Eccleshill, but the partners have said it is no longer big enough to cope with patient demand.

They want to build a new surgery in Dudley Hill Road.

The proposals, submitted to Bradford Council, give the practice three times as much space.

The development has the backing of NHS Bradford and Airedale and the surgery’s active patient group.

If the planning application succeeds the practice hopes it will be completed within 12 months.
