A former pub can become office space for a charity and a shop after a planning panel approved plans for the building’s conversion.
The Fairweather Green on Thornton Road is currently vacant, but has been taken on by the Kurdish Islamic Cultural Centre.
Last year, the charity submitted plans to convert the pub into a community centre and library.
But after concerns were raised about the increased traffic this would cause, the plans were withdrawn.
Scaled back plans for the building were submitted to Bradford Council last year – this scheme would see the building’s ground floor converted into a charity shop, with the first floor used as office space by the charity.
The plans went before the Council’s Bradford Area Planning Panel at a meeting on Wednesday morning, where members were advised to approve the application.
Planning officers said conditions that the building be only used between 8am and 8pm would mean there would be less disruption to neighbours than when the property was used as a pub.
Members unanimously voted to approve the plans.
One condition of the application is that the ground floor can only be used as a shop, and the first floor can only be used as office space.
