PROPOSALS to build a development of flats at the end of a Clayton cul-de-sac are likely to be refused a second time.

In March plans to develop two sites in Pasture Walk were refused by Bradford Council.

The application, submitted by Mr Malik, would have seen a two storey block of five apartments built at the end of the street, and a two storey extension of an existing block on the street to create two more apartments.

Although planning officers said the smaller buildings would be acceptable, they raised concerns about the larger building. The plans were refused over concerns the block of five flats would overlook existing properties and harm protected trees on the site.

A new application was submitted shortly after - amended so the block of five apartments was reduced to four.

The application will go before the Council’s Bradford Area Planning Panel on Tuesday.

Nine people have written to the Council supporting the plans, but officers will recommend the development be refused for similar reasons to the last application.

Officers say up to three protected trees would be harmed as part of the development, adding: "These trees are established trees, which have been protected due to their amenity value, their loss is clearly undesirable and the role of trees in within the urban environment should not be under estimated as these features cannot be readily replaced."

The panel meets in City Hall at 10am on Tuesday August 20.
