The Strategic Director, Place presented Document “K”.  Plans and photographs were displayed in respect of each application and representations summarised.

(a)     246 – 250 Manningham Lane, Bradford                          Manningham

Full planning application for the change of use from A1 Retail to A3 Restaurant/Café at 246 - 250 Manningham Lane, Bradford - 17/05588/FUL

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained the application considered a change of use from a cycle shop to a restaurant.  He stated that the building had a shop frontage and he considered there to be enough on street car parking in the vicinity to serve the proposed restaurant/café.  He considered the proposal would improve the appearance of the building and the external shutters would be replaced with internal ones, improving the visual appearance.  The drainage officer had advised that grease interceptors were required to the drainage servicing the kitchen to prevent pollution of the drainage system from grease, therefore a footnote advising the applicants of the need for this was considered sufficient and the application was recommended for approval.

Members commented on the car parking issues in the vicinity of Manningham Lane on match days and inconsiderate parking that took place in the area.  In response, the Highways Officer stated that he was aware of proposals in relation to car parking restrictions around the Valley Parade Stadium but he could not confirm whether they extended out as far to this location. 

The Chair commented that there were a variety of shops in the area and a number of car parking spaces in the vicinity to serve them.

Resolved –

That the application be approved for the reasons and subject to the conditions set out in the Strategic Director, Place’s technical report.
