PLANS have been submitted to change an empty commercial unit into a meat and chicken wholesale and retail unit.

The proposal has been lodged for a unit at Clive Precious Commercial Park, Mount Street, Bradford.

The application says: "To our knowledge the premises has been vacant for some time (previously used by the RSPCA).

"The proposal for change to A1 class will no doubt add energy to the area which will utilise the entire premises making use of the existing development.

"The proposed scheme represents improvement to the premises and will complement the area as a whole."

The application says that three full-time roles will be created through the venture, with its hours of operation between 9am and 6pm.

A determination deadline has been set for December 31.
