A FAST food company has withdrawn its late-night licensing application for one of its Bradford restaurants.

The application, from Mulcroft Limited, wanted permission to open the new KFC outlet at Odsal Top between 11pm until 5am seven days a week, making its hours of operation 10am until 5am was withdrawn yesterday. 

It was due to come before Bradford Council’s district licensing panel today.

The restaurant opened its doors just before Christmas, following a lengthy battle between developers and the Council.

The prominent site, which formerly housed a snooker hall and police station, had been vacant for a number of years.

A report to the Licensing Panel outlines how ‘licensing objectives’ would be addressed.

A Council spokesperson confirmed the application had been withdrawn. KFC were unavailable for comment.
