Planning permission: Cleckheaton town centre commercial property could become nine flats if Kirklees Council approves plans

An application for the “prior notification for change of use from commercial/business/service to form eight additional dwellings” was received by the council on March 26, and relates to the property which covers 37 Bradford Road as well as 2 and 4 King Street.

The conversion would involve changing the access to an existing flat, located on the first floor, and creating an additional eight flats.

The ground floor would have a total of five flats, and the first floor would have four.

The building has been used as a hairdressing salon and a furniture shop, and is located in proximity to The Commercial pub.

A public consultation on the proposal opened on April 3 and will close on April 23.

More information about the application can be found on the council’s planning portal.
