Consent secured for trade counter units and drive thru restaurant

Ilkley-based property developer, Opus North, has won planning permission to build six new trade counter units and a Burger King UK Drive Thru restaurant at Eccleshill Park, Harrogate Road, Bradford.

The 2.8 acre site is prominently located on the A658 close to the M606 and M62 network.

Opus North managing director, Andrew Duncan, said: “We are so pleased that permission has been granted. There has been a lot of interest in this proposed development and having secured Burger King UK as a tenant, we are very keen to get onto the next stage.

“Our contractors will start on site towards the end of this year and we are aiming to have everything ready for occupation by quarter three of 2023.”

Hazel Cooper, of marketing agents Carter Towler, added: “This is a really exciting scheme for us to be involved with, the number of enquiries we have been dealing with during this planning stage has been very encouraging and I’m delighted we have already secured two great tenants on the trade counter scheme, in addition to the Burger King UK Drive Thru.

“We have agreed lettings with Screwfix and Toolstation who will be taking 4,000 sq ft each at Unit 1 and Unit 3.

“The development is in an excellent location and there is already a Lidl supermarket and Starbucks thriving on the adjacent site. It’s fantastic that two of the properties have been taken even before construction has commenced.”
