SIR – One wonders what the planners (planning authority) of Bradford Council are thinking about.

Just recently they have given permission to build 82 houses on Crack Lane fields, Wilsden. This, despite objections by about 700 people.

Yet two or three weeks later a planning application to start a gym in some industrial units (already built) and situated approximately 200 yards from the Crack Lane site has been refused.

What is the logic of this decision?
