(a) 110 Manningham Lane, Bradford Manningham A full planning application to change the use of the former Maestros Nightclub, 110 Manningham Lane to a D2 assembly and leisure facility - 18/00338/FUL The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout. He informed the Panel that the application proposed a change of use of a vacant building on Manningham Lane to class D2. Residential properties were located on neighbouring Thurnscoe Road and there was a children’s play area on Springfield Place. The building was single storey to the front and three at the rear and had a 69 space car park on Springfield Place, with 12 extra spaces to be created within the rear yard. The Strategic Director, Place explained that the area contained residential and commercial premises and no external or internal alterations would be made to the building. The property had previously been a nightclub, but had not been used for many years, however, it would be possible to reintroduce that use. Approximately 500 to 600 guests would be accommodated and wedding venues could be noisy, so it had been suggested that the operating hours be curtailed to 2300 hours. Members noted that the Council’s Environmental Health Unit had requested that a condition be placed on the application in relation to the provision of a noise report. The Strategic Director, Place the recommended the application for approval subject to the conditions as set out in the report. The applicant’s agent was present at the meeting and confirmed that he was satisfied with the comments made. He stated that the building had been closed for over eight years and the proposal would benefit the community and provide employment. During the discussion Members acknowledged that the building was located on a gateway to the City and the development would create jobs which would be beneficial to the regeneration of Bradford. Resolved – That the application be approved for the reasons and subject to the conditions set out in the Strategic Director, Place’s technical report.
