RETROSPECTIVE plans to turn a shop into a cafe, which have already been refused by Bradford Council once, have been re-submitted.
In November planning officers refused an application to convert a former carpet shop at 20 Summerville Road, near the university district, into a restaurant and cafe.
But now the application has been re-submitted to the Council by the original applicant, Muhammad Hussain.
The unit had been converted into the new business in June, and the retrospective application for change of use submitted shortly after.
Refusing the original plans, officers raised concerns over the lack of parking. They said: “The use leads to an increase in on-street parking in an area where parking problems already exist which results in conflicts between local residents and customers.”
A decision is expected to be made by Bradford Council late next month.
