PLANS to turn part of a Bradford mill into a snooker hall have been approved by Bradford Council after initial plans were scaled down.
Sajid Hussain has been granted planning permission to convert a unit at Kyme Mills on Johnson Street, Laisterdyke into snooker halls and games rooms.
Similar plans were refused last year because planning officers thought it would harm the residential amenity of the local area and lack of car parking. But the plans were re-submitted, with the two storey centre reduced to a single storey and 11 snooker and pools tables inside, rather than the initially proposed 21 tables.
Other facilities will include six individual games rooms, two table-football tables, a café and associated toilets and storage spaces.
The unit was previously used as a clothes recycling centre, and the mill is currently occupied by several different small businesses.
A planning report said: "The proposed use would take up a relatively small part of the building and it would not be particularly sensitive to the other industrial operations carried out in the remainder of the mill or adjacent industrial premises and so would not jeopardise its long-term continuation."
