A planning application to convert the upper floors of 55 Leeds Road, the former Home of Sunrise Radio in Little Germany, into apartments has been submitted to Bradford Council. The plans would see the ground floor retained as a refurbished commercial space. The application claims that current works to drastically change traffic in Bradford city centre will “affect the property in a positive way.
“The proposed use as a residential/commercial unit brings about a vibrant use for the internal space by providing a city living accommodation that will revitalise the vacant building and help in the government’s housing targets. “The granting of planning consent will help generate local short and long term employment of builders, as well as assist the businesses of builder’s merchants and other building material suppliers-which will be beneficial to the local economy.
