PUB chain Amber Taverns have applied for a premises licence for the former Poundworld shop on Ivegate, Bradford.

According to the application to Bradford Council, the bar will be called the Drum Winder.

If granted the licence will allow for live and recorded music and dance and the sale and consumption of alcohol from 10am to midnight Sunday to Thursday and 10am until 1am Fridays and Saturdays and for late night refreshment from 11pm until midnight Sunday to Thursday and 11pm until 1am Fridays and Saturdays.

The plans could create up to 10 full-time and five part-time jobs.

The unit is one of two Poundworld stores in the city centre left empty when the retailer went bust this summer.

Amber Taverns, which runs the Library Tap in Bingley as well as 120 other pubs across the country, has submitted a planning application to convert the building into a pub.

The company says that the shop’s “unsympathetically altered” frontage would also be altered to better suit the historic street –which is in a conservation area.

The ground floor would be converted into a pub, but the application would allow all four floors to be classed as “drinking establishments”.
