Takeaway plan for former mill building

A former mill building could be converted to a takeaway if plans are approved.

The building, at the junction of Bradford's Grattan Road and Thornton Road, on the edge of the city centre, was built in 1923.

It was most recently been used as car valeting business, but Erbar Khan has applied to convert it into a takeaway including installing glazed shop windows to the front.

His application to Bradford Council said the proposed restaurant would create eight full-time and four part-time jobs.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the application states: "This building was constructed in 1923 as is evident from the engraving above the side entrance doors on Grattan Road and was originally a small mill very likely for the woollen industry as was the trend at that time."

The applicant added they did not believe the proposals would "detract from the original look of the building".

A decision on the application is expected next month.
