Search the Public Notice PortalA former allotment site has been used for “storage purposes” since 2009 – an application to Bradford Council has claimed.
The site, off Dockfield Road in Shipley and between two rail lines and the Leeds Liverpool Canal, is the subject of an application for a “lawful development certificate.”
G Smith claims the site has been used as storage yards for 17 years, and has applied to Bradford Council for a certificate to confirm this – which would allow the use to continue.
The application
The application says the site had been changed to “separately enclosed compounds/yards used for open and enclosed storage purposes, together with ancillary structures, containers and access arrangements” in 2009.
When is a decision expected?
A decision on whether to grant the certificate of lawfulness is expected before the end of the year.
In September, members of Bradford Council’s Shipley Area Committee were given an update on the work of the Council’s Environmental Enforcement team.
They were told that they had received complaints about the allotment site, and councillors heard it was being used for the “storage, handling and burning of waste.”
A report to the committee said: “Planning Enforcement is leading the council’s investigation into the activities taking place on the land and will determine the appropriate course of action.”
